[Chapter 329 Sovereign]
David had never thought of this. Tony had been urging him to come to the universe with him because he was interested in his ability to speak various languages.
This made sense. After all, Tony had not learned the languages of the various races in the universe, and he had no way to get the translator commonly used in the current cosmic civilization. In this case, of course he had to bring a super translator.
“You are very thoughtful indeed.”
Tony had considered everything that needed to be considered, and David could not find any problems, except that the Sovereigns… Just as David was thinking about whether to try to contact these little golden men or let Tony search for another jump point to go to the next place, several space fighters flew out from the Sovereign star and soon stopped in front of the Enterprise.
The shape of these fighters was very unique, and there was a huge screen in front of the fuselage, showing the influence of the “pilot”.
“What is this?”
“The Sovereigns have a very high self-esteem and believe that the lives of their people are very important, so their fighters are all remotely controlled.”
After hearing David’s explanation, Tony had a relatively clear impression of this cosmic race called Sovereigns: “It seems that the Sovereigns are quite difficult to deal with.”
“However, it is precisely because of the Sovereigns’ character that we have the opportunity to truly come into contact with cosmic civilization.”
The public channel David connected to had already received the Sovereigns’ ultimatum, warning them that they had entered the Sovereigns’ sphere of influence without permission and should make their intentions known as soon as possible, otherwise the Sovereigns’ fighter formation would immediately open fire. In just
a few words, David had already “mastered” the Sovereign language and had a conversation with the fighter formation on the opposite side through the public channel: “We are a newly formed mercenary group. We heard that there are many jobs available on Sovereigns, so we came here to take a look.”
While replying to the Sovereigns’ fighter formation, David also explained his thoughts to the people around him.
The Sovereigns think highly of themselves and try to avoid dangerous things if possible. Therefore, they prefer to find “outsiders” to handle dangerous work on Sovereign.
In addition, the Sovereigns pay quickly and easily, so they are considered good employers.
“So, you want to take some work from the Sovereigns?”
“Yes.”
“Is it to earn money to buy technology?” Tony and his friends come from Earth, which has almost no connection with the cosmic civilization. No matter how rich he is on Earth, he is still a pauper in the universe. Even if he finds a channel to sell technology, he has no money to buy these technologies.
At first, he wanted to look around and learn as much as he could. If possible, collect some devices of cosmic civilization and then reverse crack them.
With the little brain and Decepticons brought by David, he came here with the idea of doing “no-cost business” from the beginning.
“Sovereigns will not share their advanced technologies. Advanced civilizations in the universe are very strict about their top technologies. You don’t need to buy low-level technologies. You can find a lot of public technical information by connecting to the universe network.”
“So…”
“But we need some basic equipment, such as a translation device that allows you to communicate normally with various races in the universe.”
This thing is about the size of a fingernail and can be attached to any part of the head, such as behind the ear; it can also be directly implanted into the body (Star-Lord implanted a translation device in the setting).
After wearing it, you can understand most of the mainstream languages in the universe, which facilitates normal communication among various races in the universe.
“There is also a universal star map in the universe, especially the jump points marked on it.”
With the star map information, you can choose the ‘correct’ jump point and go to where you want to go, instead of relying on luck and flying wherever you want.
Just as David and a few others were explaining his ideas, the captain of the Sovereign fighter formation had already consulted his superiors. There are indeed many tasks to be handled on Sovereign Star, and these tasks have certain risks. If there is a choice, the Sovereigns will never let their family members handle these things.
David and his team’s arrival just happened to solve this problem, so David and his team were directly received by Sovereign High Priest Ayesha.
“Are you the ones who want to take some tasks in Sovereign?”
The high priest sat on a huge seat high above. Sovereigns extremely admire gold. The entire seat and the decorations on it are all gold. When the high priest with golden skin and golden clothes sat on the chair, it seemed that he was integrated with the huge golden seat. People with poor eyesight would even suspect that the entire chair was part of the high priest.
However, the eyesight of several people on David’s side was very strong and it was impossible to make such a mistake.
At this time, the high priest Ayesha on the opposite side was also looking at the few people in front of her who looked “very ordinary”.
High priest Ayesha had a strong eye. Although the men and women in front of her looked the same as “human beings”, she was very sharp to see through these people. They were all different and not “ordinary people”, which made her very curious about what race these people were?
Especially the young man named David standing in the front. She couldn’t see through his depth. The other party seemed to have a very noble bloodline.
The Sovereigns have a high opinion of themselves and look down on other races, but they will maintain considerable respect for beings of superior bloodline.
In other words, people with high bloodline will be looked up to by the Sovereigns. This respect is not just about maintaining respect in words, but also about actively expressing goodwill.
Now Ayesha has a good impression of David. After looking at him, even her condescending look has been reduced a lot. She stood up and left her seat to talk to David and others.
“Although I don’t know your origins, Sovereign Star has indeed accumulated a lot of troublesome work. I am also willing to hire you to solve those troubles.” High Priest Ayesha stared at David: “As long as these tasks can be completed, your previous requests are not a problem.”
Ayesha did not even raise her arm. Her right hand, which was hanging naturally, just moved her wrist and pointed at a guard next to her. The guard took out a box. The guard
walked to David and others with the box, and then opened the box. There were several small props inside, which were the translation device mentioned by David before, and the universal star map data of the universe.
Unexpectedly, the Sovereigns directly gave the things that they and others needed most urgently. According to the high priest, this thing was not even a deposit, but just a gift for meeting.
David was not surprised. These things were nothing to advanced civilizations. Only he and his people, who had just come out of the remote village on Earth, urgently needed them. After
distributing the translators to several people and telling them how to use them, David closed the box containing several other translators and star map data and put it away.
It was a very casual action, but it made the eyes of the high priest Ayesha light up.
She still couldn’t tell what planet this person came from or what race he was, but the other party’s civilization level was not low. At least the Sovereign had not developed such powerful space technology.
Could it be from some distant galaxy?
“Now let’s talk about the content of the work!”
David watched Laura, Tony and Clark put the translators behind their ears, and discussed the work to be done with High Priest Ayesha.
In his opinion, the Sovereigns should give him some simple tasks first, and they must be tasks that can be completed on the Sovereign planet.
In this way, they can keep an eye on him and others nearby, and it can also be considered an inspection?
If David and his people perform well, they will continue to give more tasks. David thinks that he and his people should live on the Sovereign planet for a while.
Unexpectedly, the Sovereign High Priest Ayesha did not follow the routine at all and directly gave a difficult pursuit mission.
“I want you to catch this person back!”
Without the High Priest’s order, someone had already used holographic images to show David and others the appearance of the target. David took a look and found that the target was still an “acquaintance”.
“What did this person do?”
“She sneaked into Sovereign and tried to steal the Anuras energy battery.” Ayesha’s face was full of disgust, as if even looking at the holographic image for one more time would dirty her eyes. She only stared at David the whole time: “Although she did not succeed, she must pay the price for offending Sovereign, so I ask you to catch this thief back to Sovereign and accept the punishment she deserves.”
Ayesha raised her finger again, and her men immediately turned off the holographic image, and handed the small device in their hands to David: “It contains all the information and clues of this person. If we find new clues next, we will notify you in time.” There is
no need to say more about the rest. All David and his men have to do is to rush to the target’s location according to the guidance of the intelligence and then catch the target.
In fact, with the ability of the Sovereign to easily find the location of the other party, he is fully capable of sending people to arrest him.
But as David introduced to Tony before, the Sovereigns will not let their own people take risks as long as they have a choice. They can just hire mercenaries for battles. It doesn’t matter how many die. If they succeed, they only need to pay a reward. Anyway, the Sovereign planet is very rich.
Seeing David put away the intelligence information and prepare to say goodbye and leave, Ayesha couldn’t help but ask: “Can I ask, David, where are you from?”
“Brunnia!” David made an inconspicuous gesture with his fingers: “A very remote and inconspicuous little place.”
“Really?” Ayesha didn’t continue to ask, but just said: “I hope that when you complete the mission and come back, you can describe this little place called Brunnia to me in detail!”
“…”
David was stunned for two seconds, didn’t say anything, and bowed slightly and left the hall.
It’s just being teased, I’m used to it!
