Chapter 17o9 The Hunt for the Shadow Five
After hearing the prince's request, Palamidis was stunned for a while, and repeated unconsciously: Do you want to hire me to deal with monsters like Moby Dick? billion?
Yes. billion. And it's a Britannia gold coin. The prince also repeated.
One billion gold coins, and British gold coins, just to kill a monster. Palamidis couldn't help but shake a little.
He's not short of money now, but Palamidis is also greedy by nature, and the huge number of one billion really makes the big cat heart.
What is the concept of a billion Britannia Coins? Including electricity, heating and administrative payments, the average living cost of a common man in Great Britain is between fifty and one hundred gold coins a month. If they live frugally, even thirty gold coins can live a month. Even if Palamides spends wildly and consumes hundreds of times the living expenses of the commoners in a month, this billion gold coins will probably be enough for him to eat and drink for a thousand years.
No. Considering that his family has three kittens and a wife to keep, it is not realistic to eat and drink spicy food for a thousand years, but it is possible for the whole family to spend two hundred years. Even so, it's already great.
But it was Prince Said who surprised Palamides the most. The prince can take out a billion British gold coins at will to hire a stranger like Palamides, and it seems that he is not lying, it is estimated that it is true. When Prince Said reported the number of one billion, he didn't even move his brows, which means that this number is not a big number for the prince at all, maybe a year and a half, or even just a month or two. income.
Egypt's royal family is in decline, but it is still rich. How huge the Pharaoh's estate is is really immeasurable.
Nevertheless, Palamidis calmed down and thought about it before asking: "His Royal Highness, I want to ask a question.
But it doesn't matter.
If you want the weapon in my hand, you can buy it at a price. This way, you can also keep the weapon as a stash after hunting Moby Dick. But why don't you want weapons and instead plan to pay me a lot of money to hire me?
Because I am convinced that a good weapon can only wield its true power in the hands of a seasoned warrior. Prince Said said: I think, even if I spend money to buy this cursed spear in your hand, without proper armor and manipulation methods, it is impossible for my subordinates to skillfully control this spear, right? Hiring you is the most efficient and most successful way to use this spear to defeat Moby Dick.
Yes. Very good analysis. Knowing that he was being praised in circles, Palamidis couldn't help but flutter a little: But I'm sorry, I still can't promise you anything right now. I can't go ahead without thinking about such a high-risk mission that could cost me my life.
Yes. what a pity. The prince replied calmly.
However, I have a friend who has been entangled by Moby Dick many times. He has escaped from Moby Dick's attack several times and has a deep relationship with that monster. The leopard warrior said again: After I go back, I will talk to that friend about this, and first understand how terrible Moby Dick is.
It's amazing that your friend has survived Moby Dick's attacks multiple times. The prince then took out a postcard from his pocket: this is my business card. Show this to the guards at the villa, and the guards will let them go. If possible, please bring your friends over to meet me next time. Of course, the more talented people who can assist in the annihilation of Moby Dick, the better. Depending on the situation, I will be happy to hire your friends as well.
Ok thank you. The big cat takes the postcard. By this time he had realized that Rosetta had been giving him a wink since just now, and he knew he should go.
That name, see you later, His Royal Highness. Palamides and Rosetta spoke almost simultaneously.
Goodbye Karma. The prince also said.
After walking out of the gate of the villa, Palamidis was dragged by Rosetta almost all the way and ran for a long distance before stopping.
What are you thinking, you stupid cat! Rosetta stopped and immediately began to blame: accept the prince's employment? To hunt Moby Dick? Do you really want to die? !
But the prince said it very sincerely, and a billion is not a small number. The big cat scratched his head and replied.
That's not the point! Rosetta is angry: you know what? The name Moby Dick is almost synonymous with Death. Since ancient times, there have been many teams of crusade against the Demon Whale that have gone out to kill it, but no team has ever managed to come back alive. All crusade teams were wiped out!
But my friend Bedivere was attacked twice by Moby Dick and he's still alive and kicking. Palamidis said disapprovingly: In short, you don't have to worry about me about this matter. I didn't immediately take over Prince Syed's job either. Don't say it, let's find a safe place first and see if the contents of the ancient Nir are still there.
The Queen of Gems sighs: All right. There's a jewelry store run by an acquaintance of mine nearby that has an enchantment generator where we can inspect the goods. I will also call in my **** to come to support.
Just do it. Palamides nodded. What he is most worried about now is whether the ruby hidden in the spear has been stolen. Logically, this is unlikely, because when Bet stole Eternal Neil from Palamidis, he had to seal the Meteor Gun firmly, so as not to be summoned by Palamidis. And Beite should have sealed the ancient Neil from the beginning, found a claustrophobic place and placed a trap on it, and then used the magic bandage to wrap the trapped ancient Neil firmly until it was taken out. sell.
A secret cell inside the ancient Neil hides the ruby heart of Africa. This fact was originally known only to Palamides, and the secret cell is so well hidden that it is generally impossible for those who do not know it to find it.
And the most important thing is that the poisoner Beite is short-sighted and doesn't know the true value of the Meteor Gun Eternal. The poisoner Bett sold the ancient Nir as a trap and used it to try to assassinate Prince Said. Palamidis knew that Bett really didn't understand anything.
A person who treats an artifact such as the Eternal Neil so lightly will certainly not carefully investigate the secrets of this magic spear.
So, it really won't be a problem, right?
Ten minutes later, in the safe room of a jewelry store owned by a friend of Rosetta, the Queen of Gems.
The surrounding barrier is opened. Although this kind of enchantment is not the strongest shady enchantment, it still has a good ability to shield the outside world. Everything that happens in this room can hardly be eavesdropped or watched by the outside world.
What's more, Rosetta, the queen of gems, has her own **** group guarding outside the jewelry store, and even the roof is also guarded. Under such strict security, it is almost impossible to eavesdrop on the security room.
Now, it's just the two of us. Rosetta sighed: open it. Hope that is still there.
Even so, Rosetta is very cautious when she speaks.
Ok. Palamidis placed his Meteor Gun across the marble table in the safe room and began fumbling back and forth over the gun.
He fumbled a few times, and finally found the hidden compartment's activation mechanism. The big cat pressed his finger against the device and pushed it slightly upwards. Then, the whole Eternal Neil began to shine. Its black gun body originally had complex and circuit-like patterns, and it was from these patterns that the light oozes out. The original Eternal will ooze a beautiful golden light from the texture, but at this time it oozes a strange orange-red light, which is also inexplicable.
This wonderful orange-red glow didn't last long. After only a few seconds, the dark grid inside the ancient Neil suddenly opened.
I really don't know how you came up with this dark grid. Rosetta couldn't help but spit out: Is it just a coincidence?
Just by chance. I touched the switch when I was wiping and maintaining it on my hand with the ancient Neil, it flashed a few times just like before, and suddenly opened a dark box. As the big cat explained, he put his fingers in, trying to dig out the objects in the dark compartment. The body of the long spear is not thick, and normally it is impossible to hide a heart-shaped ruby the size of a fist in the hidden compartment inside it. But the dark compartment of the spear seems to be a warp storage device. No one knows how big the warp is.
Huh? Palamidis snorted, and suddenly pulled out his cat's paw: No?
No way! Jewel Queen Rosetta is in a hurry: Was that really discovered and stolen by Bet? !
Wait~IndoMTL.com~I'll take a look. The big cat put his hand in again. This time, he put the entire cat's paw in it. The slightly slender spear body opened a small hidden compartment that suddenly sucked Palamidis's palm into it, looking rather strange.
Hmm Palamidis didn't catch it, but he seemed to sense something in the dark grid, so he pushed harder, pushing his entire arm toward the small dark grid. His arm was fully tucked in.
Palamy! Rosetta exclaimed.
It's okay! I'm very good! Although it looked terrible, Palamides' arm just turned into the warp, not as bad as it looked. He used his entire arm to fish around in the subspace of the dark grid, trying to fish out the heart of Africa, or something in the dark grid.
Wow! However, he didn't catch it, instead he felt a sharp pain. His hand seemed to swipe over something sharp and was cut.
Wow, ah, ah, the startled Palamidis immediately pulled his arm back and screamed like a child: Something bit me!
