Chapter 310 Collector's commission and poor reward
The curved crystal wine glass looks like the horns of some animal, and the so-called "fine wine" filled inside is dark in color, as if it is thick ink.
James held the wine glass and found that the temperature of the wine inside was actually very low, but it seemed to be boiling, and from time to time there were large groups of bubbles gurgling, and the colors of the bubbles were colorful.
To be honest, he doesn't think such weird things can be imported casually.
Facing Tanya Tiwan's eyes full of expectations, especially the phrase "from the extinct Titan civilization", James hesitated to raise his glass and took two sips.
The wine from Titan Star entered his throat, and James only felt as if he drank a spicy high-grade liquor, but it also had a mellow taste of bitter coffee and chocolate. The world was converted to "HD" mode.
"Mr. Hutiwan, according to the logic you said, I think you must have some unique behavior or habit, so that Gao Tianzun can see me as a means to kill you, and the gladiator champions who have left Saka in the past are also It’s possible to do that.”
James shook the wine glass in his hand lightly. He suspected that this crystal-like curved cup was not made artificially, but more like it was obtained from some kind of animal with such unique horns.
After taking the collector's shell spaceship and ending the flight state of jumping in the wormhole space, James subconsciously looked at the hanging window on the side, but was silent and absent-minded for the "view" outside the window.
A dark green skull larger than a mountain exudes a faint green shimmer, quietly suspended in the cosmic space.
Its slightly opened mouth looks like a portal for entry, and the holes in the pupils of its eyes have been transformed into two "windows" that emit light. The flat and narrow cranial top and mandibles show that this giant skull must have looked like it was alive. The shape of the head is very different from that of humans on Earth, but the general structure is very similar.
Countless bee-like small aircrafts come in and out around the "skull planet". When the spacecraft gets closer, you can clearly see that those "bees" are actually repeatedly collecting and transporting some kind of fluorescent substance in the skull, like Digging for mines.
"Welcome to my residence 'The Land of Nothingness', Mr. Logan, you are right, many people call me a 'collector', just like Gao Tianzun who is obsessed with sports and games, my hobby is collecting All the magical and special objects in the universe."
Tiwan stood up with James and looked at the unique "intracranial" world outside the spaceship window. Compared with the planet Saka buried in the turbulent space, this city built in the head of an unknown and magnificent life is even more impressive. James was genuinely curious.
There is no uniform and standardized architectural style. Thousands of alien buildings of various shapes are stacked and built along the bone structure of the skull. The large space in the mouth is made of metal to create a "land", which is the vast majority of aliens living here. A place where people live.
Tanya Tiwan's residence is at the right eye of the head, and the window opened in the hollow of the eye socket is the collector's territory.
"How did it die."
Tiwan originally thought that James would ask excitedly or curiously about the origin of "Nowhere", but the question he blurted out after a long silence was a bit special.
The collector scratched his head irritably, he was caught by this question.
".This is the head of a dead god. The real 'god', his name is unknown. Perhaps his death was done by his own family, or there may be some other reason! Mr. Logan, my poor house arrive."
Tiwan's "home" does not have the structure of a house at all. Thousands of transparent rectangular "glass tanks" of different sizes are arranged to form an extremely complex space with almost nowhere to go.
Most of the glass jars were living creatures, and they looked listlessly at the servants who belonged to collectors who were running and tidying up outside, but they were very calm.
"Hehehe, Mr. Diwan, many champions who have come from Saka have been collected by you here."
The shell spaceship landed on the only relatively affluent open space here. James looked at this super museum dizzyingly, and became more and more curious about the real purpose of Tanya Tiwan talking so much with him.
"Yes, there are two Saka champions from too long ago who have died of old age, and there is also a Zeus protoss with a special background who has a backer behind him, so I can't let me collect it. There is only one "horse-faced thunder god" who is somewhat related to you ' is."
James was visiting the collector’s collection while listening to his introductions and explanations from time to time, but he really looked like a tourist who came to purely visit.
Until the two stopped in front of a Labrador in a spacesuit, James rubbed his chin and asked Tanya Tiwan:
".So Gao Tianzun knew that you like to collect these magical lives. He resold all the strong people who insisted on leaving Saka to you, holding the expectation that you would be killed by a champion who escaped from the cage one day, hehehe, What? Am I any different from them?"
For the two weird and mysterious old men, Collector and Gao Tianzun, James even suspects that both of them are in the state of "I predicted your prediction".
Maybe every time you resell a gladiator champion who may rise up and kill collectors, this behavior itself is also one of Gao Tianzun's games, and there is no real hatred or power relationship.
Both behavioral motivations are essentially consistent with their unique hobbies. Good, evil, right, wrong, the general values of intelligent life do not seem to exist in the thinking of the two.
Tiwan blinked slyly, and the maid with rose red skin served him as he took off the flamboyant silver-white fur, and sat gracefully on a gemstone bench, folded his hands and said solemnly:
"Because I'm afraid I can't lock you up, Mr. Logan. If possible, your fate is indeed just a new collection put in an exhibition box, but as a 'collector' unparalleled in the entire universe, eyesight! Yes! The most important thing."
James sat safely across from Tiwan, and every experience he experienced in the not-too-long time after leaving the earth gave him a deeper understanding of the world.
"The strength you showed in the Saka arena is not bad, but I think that is far from your true ability, that fire, hehe, it's not good."
"It's very accurate. The 'Eternal Flame' of Odin Asgard was accidentally contaminated when I was fighting the old **** king. Indeed, it gave me a headache. Mr. Collector, what do you want? What you can get, tell me frankly."
James was not surprised that Tanya Tiwan could see the existence of the "Eternal Flame". The Valkyrie Valkyrie's understanding of this flame was too limited, and he expected this mysterious collector to know more.
Tiwan folded his hands excitedly, stared at James with burning eyes and said excitedly:
"I hope to hire Mr. Logan to find a few things for me. The reward is, first of all, your 'way of life'. Hehe, your vitality is very abundant, too abundant! If it weren't for this almost immortal life energy, the eternal The fire should have burned you into nothingness long ago, and only a few people in the universe can use that power in a superficial way."
Among the wild bearded face, a few strands of silver-white hair appeared quietly at the temples, and James looked a few years older in appearance.
".Eternal fire will consume your life sooner or later, and you will gradually decline like a mortal. This process may take decades, or it may be faster. Mr. Logan must have experienced the state of waiting to die without being able to change the status quo. .”
The handsome appearance of a young man for nearly two hundred years made James a little uncomfortable with his appearance at the moment. It is not necessary for collectors to mention that James has indeed felt the problems brought about by the eternal flame.
He pushed aside the reflective sphere, and said calmly to Tiwan:
"What are you looking for."
"Hmm~~ I don't know if Mr. Logan has heard of the infinite rough stone?"
Tiwan's eyes were fixed on James for a moment, trying to read some subtle changes or signs from his face, but what disappointed the collector was that the other party just shook his head very naturally, as if he didn't care about it. I don't know.
"Ahem, it doesn't matter. Simply put, it is a real state of matter condensed by the original energy or rules of the universe. They appear in the form of gems. There are six gems in total, each of which contains unique and unparalleled power."
For a person like James who has broken the limit of flesh and blood evolution, controlling facial expressions, blood flow rate, and heartbeat rhythm are all extremely easy things.
He listened to the collector's talk with a slightly curious expression, and then asked casually:
"You want me to help you collect all six stones?"
"No, no, no! Mr. Logan, I'm not that greedy, and collecting an infinite rough stone is far from easy as you imagined, just one! Just help me find a gem that already has a clue, and I can help you untie the eternal stone." Take the fire out of your body and return your original strength!"
James squinted his eyes, looked at Ti Wan with a half-smile, stared at him for a long time without saying a word, and even made the collector on the opposite side rub his hands in embarrassment, and laughed twice dryly.
"Mr. Tiwan, your business plan is good. In just a few words, I found a free labor force to help you find some 'stones'. Later, you can take out and harvest an eternal stone treasured by Odin, the king of Asa. Huo, if things don't work out, you have nothing to lose."
Tiwan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, looked at James with blinking eyes and didn't say much, he knew that the other party was a smart man, not a beast-like reckless man as he appeared on the outside.
". Let me talk about your understanding of the eternal flame first. I will take over the matter. For me, there is no bargaining chip to refuse, right?"
James took out a purple alien cigar from Saka from the inside of the light armor. Apart from the armor with good materials and craftsmanship, the only thing he took away from there was a small box of Shia Imperial Tobacco.
"Ha! Great Mr. Logan, um, the eternal flame is indeed obtained by Odin Poulsen from defeating the flame giant King Surtur, but it is not something that the Surts have innately, and it is also related to the flame giant. Clan has nothing to do with it."
".They can use part of the power of the eternal flame purely because of the affinity advantage of the race attribute. There are also some beings who can use this flame a little bit, but they are quite rare. Its core secret is to be able to understand what is 'eternal', Or what is the meaning of eternity?"
James stared at Tiwan, who seemed to have run out of words, clenched his right fist lightly and puffed out three dark bone blades, looked at Collector with a sullen expression, and squeezed out a sentence.
"Gone?"
"I only know so much! Words can't make you truly understand the power of the Eternal Flame. As for helping Mr. Logan solve its troubles, hehe, I can do it. After all, in the thousands of years of collections, There's always something small that comes in handy."
Scratched his scalp with the pierced bone claws as if scratching itches, and after a few puffs, James withdrew his claws abruptly, slapped the table and said in a rough voice:
"Where can I find the stone you want?"
—
It is also the unnamed desert island near the Norwegian town of Tonsberg where Hela, the goddess of death, appeared.
The supreme mage and the white queen stood side by side on the highest cliff of the island, a light door with a shape different from the general mystic space portal flickered open among the complex and mysterious patterns around it.
With the experience of stepping into the Asa God's Domain once, finding the location of the Qijue Continent is not as troublesome as it was at the beginning.
In addition, the gatekeepers of Asgard are no longer as powerful as they used to be, and the teleportation magic of the Supreme Mage is enough to open a door to the realm of the gods.
Hella Odinson looked at the familiar outline of the Golden Palace behind the door and the rainbow bridge across Asgard, and just took a few deep breaths of the opposite air, feeling a surge of energy and strength.
She still glanced proudly sideways at the two mortals with headaches, and walked towards the edge of the cliff step by step. Huge obsidian-like spikes appeared out of thin air under her feet, leading straight to the back of the door.
"I hope your revenge is happy, Ms. Hela, and I wish your wish goes well."
Emma wore a neat white suit, smiling with her hands in her pockets. She even waved her hand, as if sending a friend off on a long journey.
The Goddess of Death just took a deep look at the White Queen and the Ancient One Mage, without leaving a word, and quickly strode into the light gate.
"Ms. Howlett, once Hela Odinson regains the authority of Asgard, I am afraid that the first thing she will deal with is the earth that has completely escaped the control of the gods in name and substance."
Emma looked at the black spikes that crackled and dispersed in the midair after the light gate disappeared, and said loudly with bright eyebrows:
"Let her come! When these brothers and sisters understand each other, I want to see how many soldiers and horses this goddess of death can draw from the severely weakened God's Domain."
The White Queen did not hide the fierceness in her eyes. Before her husband returned, there was only one thing worth her attention.
—Destroy the Aesir.
