(Chapter 20) The Inheritors of Civilization
"That's a ......"
After a slight sigh of emotion, I only listened to Wilm say thoughtfully.
"You're really intriguing me more and more, Mr. Gu Fan."
At this moment, the door of the mansion on the side was slowly opening from the outside to the inside, and as the field of vision gradually widened, a luxurious hall appeared in front of everyone.
When people actually entered the mansion and strolled through the hall covered with velvet carpets, a peaceful and sacred atmosphere began to rise slowly in Gu Fan's heart, which felt like being in an ancient and sacred church.
Perhaps it has something to do with Wilm's former psionic ethnicity, where everything is a reflection of the owner's personal beliefs.
To Gu Fan's surprise, judging from the rather elaborate decoration style inside the mansion, it actually has many similarities with the medieval Gothic architecture of ancient human beings, and everything seems to indicate that the guy named Wilm in front of him must know something.
Just as Gu Fan was admiring his surroundings with interest, a thin figure not far away suddenly attracted his attention.
The man, dressed in an inconspicuous beige robe, was carrying a kettle to water the flower pot in front of the hallway, and was supposed to be a young woman, if nothing else, the servant of the mansion.
For a moment, as if sensing that someone was watching him, the two cat ears on the top of the other party's head turned slightly, and then turned cautiously.
Kindness? A real cat lady? Looking at the other party's little face that looked like a person and a cat, Gu Fan just thought it was quite interesting, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.
However, as if she was afraid that someone would find out, after glancing at the group behind her, the young maid quickly turned her face away.
Obviously, he didn't dare to make eye contact with everyone on the side, and it was at this moment that Gu Fan saw the black collar on the other party's neck for the first time.
Undoubtedly, it was a symbol of slavery.
The next second, when he turned around, he realized that Wilm was silently watching him not far away.
......
......
Soon, as the group walked through the long corridor, they came to the meeting room in the mansion.
When everyone sat down around the round table in the center, Wilm, as the host, was the first to speak.
"Mr. Ramch, this transportation contract is really hard for you, and I don't know anyone else who can complete the task in such a short time but you."
Hearing this, Ramch just reluctantly squeezed out a smile.
"This is thanks to the route specially approved by the enterprise for our Ram Chamber of Commerce, and in the final analysis, everything is still the credit of the enterprise."
Although the alliance of merchants and global enterprises is a business-oriented alliance group, one side is a flexible transaction dominated by merchants, while the other side is good at regional monopoly.
Driven by common interests, the two parties who have reached a cooperation are using their own specialties to absorb the astronomical wealth from all over the universe.
Looking at the two people who were talking in front of him, Gu Fan couldn't help but think of a term that often appeared in human society in the past.
Big capitalists probably mean beings like them.
The conversation between the two lasted for a while, just as Gu Fan was still listening, sorting out useful information from it.
Suddenly, Ramch was heard to mention his name.
"By the way, Mr. Gu Fan said before he came that there are some things that he wants to communicate with you personally."
"Really?"
As he spoke, the leaders of the two chambers of commerce had already turned their gazes, but Gu Fan had already prepared, only to hear him say unhurriedly, and then put his right hand into the pocket of his jacket.
"Mr. Wilm, there's something I'd like you to help me firm, I've heard you're an expert on it."
He quickly pulled out a special device the size of a thumb and shaped like an hourglass.
If you look closely, the center of the two opposite triangular pyramids seems to be sealing a mini black hole, and from time to time black lightning flashes around it.
The moment he saw the thing, Ramchi's eyes lit up not far away.
If it weren't for Wilm's presence there, I'm afraid his saliva would have flowed out.
"This ...... An artificial black hole that has been compressed to the extreme? ”
"Lord God, where did you get this kind of thing?"
Listening to the other party's shocked tone, Gu Fan knew that his luck was good.
In fact, this thing was taken out of the Glory Queen's missile storage, in addition to the core components of the Black Hole Missile in his hand, he also carried a lot of strange gadgets on his body, and the specific origin was roughly the same, in short, it was a split word.
Just in case the other party doesn't like it, he has other treasures that can take it.
"Looks like you're satisfied, how much do you think it's worth if I say I want to sell it to you?"
Faced with such an inquiry, Wilm's mechanical head was obviously stunned for a moment.
"I don't know...... It's so precious that it's said that a stable artificial black hole alone can generate enough energy for a planet. ”
"If you insist on giving an estimate, it can probably be estimated to be more than 10 billion star coins."
At this moment, Gu Fan was also shocked, it was the first time he knew that this thing was so valuable in the eyes of outsiders.
So in order to eliminate those pirates, he poured trillions of wealth?
, isn't this as simple as blood loss......
It's a loss......
And this thing can also be used as a generator? He wasn't sure if the other party really saw it.
Eventually, after adjusting a little bit of embarrassment.
"Well, I don't know if this thing can be exchanged for a piece of information about the observer."
As he spoke, he placed the missile core in his hand on the table and pushed it in the direction of Wilm.
There was a long silence in the small meeting room.
It can be seen that the guy at Wilm is very entangled, but in the end, he is tempted by the baby......
"Okay...... It's a pretty affordable deal, so what do you want to know? ”
Hearing that the other party was relieved, Ramch on the side also instantly became interested and pricked up his ears.
After all, he didn't want to miss out on this precious piece of information worth tens of billions of star coins in vain.
"I want to know who they are and where they are?"
"How do I find them?"
Faced with this series of inquiries, Wilm thought for a moment.
"I only happen to know some rumors about them, and it's said that they were once testers created by humans."
"The purpose is to find a suitable successor from the galaxy."
These words obviously aroused Gu Fan's interest.
"Heir? What does that mean? ”
The other party's next words made him fall silent.
"Inheritor of human civilization,"
