Chapter 319 Chapter 319: Weird price
"No, although Arthur won the duel, he is still only the crown prince." Diana mercilessly pierced Arthur, "According to the tradition of Atlantis, he still needs to be approved by his teacher."
Diana is not very clear about this, but she also knows what the teacher did in Atlantis back then.
"Me?" Chris himself was also at a loss. The dwarves of Middle-earth regarded him as the place where the throne was inherited, so what did Atlantis have to do with him?Besides, in the past 2000 years, Chris has never seen any Atlanteans come to him.
The lifespan of the Atlanteans is slightly longer than that of ordinary humans, but it is also limited. It is not as long as the lifespan of the Middle-Earth dwarves. It can't be so long without a change of throne, right?
"Who told you to come to me? What do you want me for?" Chris asked Arthur strangely.
"Yeah, do, do what..." Arthur shook his head, forced himself to wake up, and fumbled to get something out of his clothes.
Chris feels that fortunately this Sea King is the short blonde hair version in the comics, not the Sea Horse King (Dark Fog) with the blue-eyed white dragon. He was a little closer just now, and he doesn't want to be thrown away by his long hair that has been soaking in the sea all day. Face……
I thought Arthur would come up with something like an inheritance artifact, but instead he took out a... very Atlantean-style pad?
"Oh yes, my mother said that only a demigod can become a sea king, not just the king of Atlantis, and the sea king must go to the legendary temple to be recognized..." Well, that's right, this guy is just ...Can't remember things, just took out a notepad... "Really, what a broken rule, it seems to be left by the former King of the Sea, called Tai, what is Tai..."
"Taylor," Chris couldn't stand it anymore, and helped him out.
"Yes, Taylor!" Arthur slapped his thigh, "I just forgot how to pronounce the name."
Well, Chris also noticed that on Arthur’s pad, for his own convenience, most of the language is still written in English, only some names are still in Atlantean—please, it’s impossible English is being spoken all over the world—it's not that Arthur forgot, he just doesn't know how to read...
I heard that the problem is easy to solve. Arthur's own ability allows him to communicate with all Atlanteans, even if the two parties do not use the same language at all, and the magic of Atlantis is also quite good. The technology is still there.In terms of read and write...
To be honest, if it is possible, Chris really does not want to give Arthur this recognition. What kind of evil did Atlantis do? It is going to have an "illiterate" king... Sol also did it anyway He received royal education, but Odin didn't let him take the exam...
But there is no way, Arthur is a natural demigod, based on Chris's understanding of Atlantis, no matter how embarrassing his background is, he is basically a certain Aquaman.
Had Arthur not been king, it would have caused great chaos in Atlantis.
"This guy, after being dead for so long, he can still cause trouble for me..." Chris's mood is also very complicated. In this life, Chris realizes how many different landscapes he will encounter as a long-lived species.
Nostalgia, emotion, sigh, but there is no anger, or that the other party did not do anything to make Chris worthy of anger, but just witnessed some beautiful disappearances, which is not worthy of anger.
In the end, Chris gave Arthur his own mark by tapping Arthur on the head a few times anyway.Anyway...what will become of Atlantis has nothing to do with me.
Even if you are thrown into the Sahara by Unyielding Chao, you don't have to worry about it yourself!
Chris looked at Clark who had finally finished eating next to him, and a bunch of qwq with Haichao or Chaohai tag flashed in his mind with very divergent thinking...
Oh, that's the world of minors, as adults, pwp of course.
Shaking his head, these things are really not for Chris to worry about, he has enough things to worry about now.Even if Arthur Curry is better suited as a hero than a king, at least he's a good guy.
As for what Chris should worry about, of course it is... collecting the bill!
"Okay, let me take a look at the bill given by the system..." Chris slid the light curtain that no one could see, "Bruce is so restrained this time? Tsk, I knew there must be something wrong with him not wearing a uniform. Green Lantern and Lightning only ordered two sets of light tea and light meals, which is too cautious! Arthur actually brought Asgardian gold coins with him? Wait, it seems that I paid for Atlantis? But with this guy The amount of alcohol they drink, the gold coins in their treasury won't last long. As for Superman..."
Chris' face finally changed when he saw Superman's bill.
"How is it possible!" Chris' face became cloudy and uncertain, "System, what's wrong with you? You were hacked?"
"Ding, the self-inspection is complete. There is no fault in this system. Please rest assured to use the host." The system instantly responded to Chris' call.
"Then tell me, what's the deal with this price?" Chris gritted his teeth and asked the system.
"Ding, it is detected that the customer is carrying a special entanglement of cause and effect, this price is a reasonable price, please feel free to charge the host."
Don't worry, don't worry a ghost!
That's right, this dish was indeed sold by Chris. It is the highest-level dish, not counting Odin and Sol who eat a bunch at a time. The unit price should also be one of the highest. I'm mentally prepared, but the price is really...too low!
Converted into Asgardian gold coins, it's less than one-twentieth of Chris' estimated price!Chris estimated it, at best it was a cost price, this is because the ingredients are special this time, the phoenix clan signed a contract with the system, and the energy price paid by the system to collect phoenix eggs is very little among ingredients of the same level ...
It opened shortly after time travel, and it has been 3000 years since it opened. Chris has never seen such a huge discount from the system!Although he is not very short of energy points now, but in this way, won't he lose a lot of income in vain?After all, judging by Superman's appetite, he might become the next Thor again...
You know, in the past few thousand years, the sexy photos of Sol alone have earned Chris at least millions of energy points, which is equivalent to renting out a god of war...
Even the Man of Steel would feel uneasy in front of Chris's unkind eyes. He just remembered that he just ate something, but... can he really pay the bill?If you can't pay the bills... Superman hasn't forgotten how he got down on the ground when he first came in... So, is it too late to perform a live show of pinching a diamond with his bare hands?
Of course not. From the perspective of the entire universe, ordinary diamonds are not rare, and they are even less valuable than gold.
In the end, when Superman walked out of the temple, he had to pay his own...
……
[Superman's Red Cape], although this thing is not a unique artifact, there are still many spares in the Fortress of Solitude, but among the causal items Chris received, it is also very good.After the causal energy points were extracted by the system, it was also sublimated into epic equipment, not only because it was worn by the steel body for a long time, it has its own invulnerable defense, but also has the same magic floating cloak made by the ancient one. The ability of people to fly at high speed, if you don't think it is a little small, it can be used as a flying carpet.
However, Chris still kept a straight face.The stuff is good, but compared to the phoenix eggs... it's really only worth the cost of ingredients at most, and the labor costs can't be recovered, let alone make a profit.A phoenix egg, not counting the power bonus from the sun, the surging life energy, these are the icing on the cake for the Kryptonians. Just a nearly completely immune effect is enough to make everyone in the universe The big guy Lu took the lead.
If it weren't for the fact that he had given a lot of experience, Chris would have been upgraded, and Chris would have to blacklist Superman.
"jingle"
"Why, with such a bad face, why don't you want to see me?" Chris, who was in a bad mood, didn't even notice that a new customer came in.The visitor didn't care, Shi Shiran went directly to the bar and took a seat.
"It's none of your business, Hella." Chris didn't have to be courteous with his old friend, "it's just a little annoying."
"What's the matter? I think it might have something to do with you being the last one to see me today?" The two of them have been dating for so many years, and of course Hela has also learned some of Chris's business rules. "Could it be related to that old thing?"
"It's not that matter," Chris waved his hand, not wanting to mention his troubles, "but I'm looking for you, it's really related to this, I think you should know, God King quickly..."
"I'm dying, I know." Hela took it smoothly, with a strong sarcasm in her tone, "After all, I am the goddess of death now."
Chris is a little speechless. Although he has a bad relationship with Odin, he still has a bit of respect for this god king, especially when the other party is about to reach the end of his life, that is, Hela. You're welcome.
"So, he actually entrusted you with such an important matter of inheriting the throne?" Hila was a little surprised by this, "That old man, is he finally willing to let go of the power in his hand?"
"Okay, Hella, the essence of power lies in power. We don't need to mention it anymore? As long as the God King is alive, he will always be the God King. I'm just a worker." Chris shook Shaking his head, "I'm looking for you this time. There are two main things. One thing I want to ask you for help. I'm looking for your brother, Loki."
"Loki..." Hela was stunned for a moment. She knew that she had a younger brother whom she had never met, but she had never asked Chris, and Chris had never brought it up in front of her. Hearing this name suddenly, A little dazed, Frigga still... "My brother? I heard he ran away from home? That's good, no one can stand that old man."
"Locky's situation...is a bit special," Chris hesitated for a while, but still skipped the topic, "Just ask if you can help?"
"Okay, I'll let the raiders pay attention later." Hela replied very simply, she had actually been paying attention to this matter for a long time. Cunzhi has caused a lot of waves in the universe, and it is impossible for existences like looters not to know.
"Well, the second thing is related to you." Chris's eyes became serious and serious, "You really have no idea about the throne?"
"If you want to come back as king, I will not object."
