"This..." After hearing the prince's request, Palamedes was stunned for a while and repeated unconsciously: "Do you want to hire me to deal with monsters like Moby Dick? One billion?"
"Yes. One billion. And it's gold coins of Great Britain." The prince repeated.
One billion gold coins, and they were British gold coins, just to kill a monster? Palamedes couldn't help but feel a little shaken.
He is not short of money now, but Palamedes is also greedy by nature, and the huge number of one billion can really make this big cat excited.
What is the concept of [one billion British gold coins]? Including electricity, heating and administrative fees, the monthly living expenses of civilians in Great Britain are about fifty to one hundred gold coins. If they live frugally, even three
Ten gold coins can live a month. Even if Palamedes spends wildly and consumes hundreds of times the living expenses of ordinary people in a month, these billion gold coins will probably be enough for him to live in prosperity for a thousand years.
No. Considering that his family has three kittens and a wife to raise, it is indeed unrealistic to live well and enjoy life for a thousand years. It is possible for the family to live squanderingly for two hundred years. Even so, it is already very impressive.
But what surprised Palamedes the most was Prince Said. The prince could easily spend one billion British gold coins to hire a stranger like Palamedes, and it seemed that he was not lying. He was probably real.
The thing is. When Prince Said reported the number of one billion, he didn't even move his eyebrows, which means that this number is not a big number for the prince at all. It may be a year and a half, or even just one or two.
monthly income.
Although the Egyptian royal family declined, it was still wealthy. It is immeasurable how huge the Pharaoh's property was.
Nevertheless, after Palamedes calmed down and thought about it, he asked: "Your Highness, I would like to ask a question."
"But it doesn't matter."
"If you want the weapon in my hand, you can buy it at a price. In this way, after hunting Moby Dick, you can also keep the weapon as a collection. But why don't you want the weapon and instead plan to buy it?"
Can you hire me?"
"Because I firmly believe that a good weapon can only exert its true power in the hands of experienced warriors." Prince Said said: "I think that even if I spend money to buy this cursed spear in your hand, there will be no
Even with the appropriate armor and control methods, it is impossible for my men to control this spear skillfully, right? If you want to use this spear to defeat Moby Dick, hiring you is the most effective method with the highest success rate."
"Really? That's a really good analysis." Palamedes knew that he had been praised in a circle, and he couldn't help but feel a little carried away: "But I'm sorry, I still can't promise you anything now. This may cost me my life."
I can't take on a high-risk mission without thinking about it."
"Really? It's a pity." The prince replied calmly.
"However, I have a friend who has been entangled by Moby Dick many times. He escaped from Moby Dick's attacks several times and has a deep bond with that monster." The Leopard Man warrior said again.
Said: "I will talk to that friend about this matter when I go back, and first understand how scary Moby Dick is."
"It's amazing that your friend was able to survive multiple attacks from Moby Dick." The prince then took out a postcard from his pocket: "This is my business card. Show this to the villa guard."
, the guards will let me go. If you can, please bring your friends over to meet me next time. Of course, the more capable people and strangers who can help annihilate Moby Dick, the better. It depends on the situation. I will
I'd be happy to hire your friend as well."
"Okay...thank you." Big Cat took the postcard. At this time, he had realized that Rosetta had been winking at him since just now, and he knew he should go.
"Well, see you later, Your Highness the Prince." Palamedes and Rosetta said almost at the same time.
"Goodbye by fate (Kama)," the prince also said.
After walking out of the gate of the villa, Palamedes was almost dragged along by Rosette and ran for a long distance before stopping.
"What are you thinking, you stupid cat!" Rosetta stopped and immediately began to scold: "Accept the prince's appointment? Go hunt Moby Dick? Do you really want to die?!"
"But the prince was quite sincere, and one billion is not a small amount..." the big cat scratched his head and replied.
"That's not the point!" Rosetta said angrily: "Did you know? The name Moby Dick is almost equivalent to the God of Death. Since ancient times, many teams have set out to defeat the Demon Whale, but there has never been one.
One team was able to come back alive successfully. All the punitive teams were wiped out!"
"But my friend Bediwell was attacked twice by Moby Dick, and he is still alive and kicking now." Paramedis said disapprovingly: "In short, you don't have to worry about me. I didn't take it immediately.
Let’s do Prince Said’s work. Stop talking, let’s find a safe place first and see if Gengunir’s [contents] are still there.”
The Gem Queen let out a long sigh: "Okay. There is a jewelry store opened by an acquaintance of mine nearby. There is a barrier generator inside, and we can check [goods] inside. I will also summon my escort team to come over for support.
"
"Let's do it this way." Palamedes nodded. What he was most worried about now was indeed whether the ruby hidden in the spear had been stolen. Logically speaking, this possibility was unlikely, because Bete had stolen the weapon from Palamedes.
When Si stole Gengunil, he had to seal the meteor gun tightly to avoid being summoned by Palamedes. Moreover, Bete should have sealed Gengunir from the beginning and found a claustrophobic place.
Then install a trap on it, and then wrap the trapped Gengunil tightly with a magic-sealing bandage until it is taken out and "sold".
There is a ruby heart of Africa hidden in a secret compartment inside Gengunir. Originally, only Palamedes knew about this, and the secret compartment is so well hidden that people who don't know about it generally cannot find it.
And the most important thing is that Poison Master Bete is short-sighted and does not know the true value of the meteor gun Gengunil. Poison Master Bete actually sold Gengunir as a "trap" and used it to
After trying to assassinate Prince Said, Palamedes knew that Bete really didn't understand anything.
Anyone who treats a divine weapon like Gengunir with such contempt would definitely not carefully investigate the secret of this divine spear.
So, there really won’t be any problem...right?
Ten minutes later, in the safe room of a jewelry store owned by a friend of Jewel Queen Rosetta.
The surrounding barrier was opened. Although this barrier is not the strongest shady barrier, it still has a good ability to shield the outside world. Everything that happens in this room is almost impossible for the outside world to eavesdrop on.
peep.
What's more, Rosetta, the Queen of Jewels, has her own bodyguards guard outside the jewelry store, and even guards are posted on the roof. Under such tight security, it is almost impossible to eavesdrop and peek into the safe room.
"Now, there are only two of us left." Rosetta sighed: "Open it. I hope [that] is still there."
Even so, Rosetta was still very cautious when speaking.
"Okay." Palamedes placed his meteor gun across the marble table in the safe room and began to fumble back and forth on the gun body.
He fumbled for a few times and finally found the secret compartment's activation device. The big cat touched the device with his finger and pushed it upward slightly. Then, the entire Gengunir began to glow. Its black gun originally had
The lines are complex and like circuit diagrams, and light oozes out from these lines. Originally, Gengunir would exude beautiful golden light from the lines, but at this time, it exudes a strange orange color.
The red light is also inexplicable.
This wonderful orange-red light did not last long. After only a few seconds, the dark grid inside Gengunir suddenly opened.
"I really don't know how you discovered this secret grid." Rosetta couldn't help complaining: "Is it just a coincidence?"
"It was just an accident. I touched the switch when I was wiping it on my hands with Gengunir, and it flashed a few times just like before, and suddenly opened a secret compartment." The big cat explained, while putting his finger in.
Try to dig out the objects in the hidden compartment. The body of the spear is not too thick. Normally, it is impossible to hide a fist-sized heart-shaped ruby in the hidden compartment inside. But the hidden compartment of the spear seems to be just right.
It is a subspace storage device. No one knows how big the subspace inside is.
"Huh?" Palamedes snorted, and took out his cat's paw in confusion: "No?"
"Isn't it possible!" Jewel Queen Rosetta said anxiously: "Did [that] really be discovered and stolen by Bete?!"
"Wait, let me take a look." The big cat put his hand in again. This time, he put the whole cat's paw in. The slightly slender spear body opened a small hidden compartment and suddenly Paramedis
He sucked it in with his palm, which looked quite weird.
"Hmm------" Paramedes didn't catch it at all, but he seemed to feel something in the dark place, so he worked harder and pushed his whole arm into the small dark place.
Push. His arm is fully inserted.
"Paramy!" Rosetta exclaimed.
"It's okay! I'm fine!" Although it looked scary, Paramedis' arm just turned into the subspace, which was not as bad as it looked. He used his entire arm to move into the subspace of the dark grid.
Fishing everywhere, trying to fish out the heart of Africa, or something in the dark place.
"Woo!" However, he didn't catch it. Instead, he felt a sharp pain. His hand seemed to have scratched on something sharp and was cut.
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah--"" The frightened Palamedes immediately pulled his arm back and screamed like a child, "Something is biting me!"
