Chapter 149: A Spaceship at a Bargain Price
Sif's "reward" came faster than Levi expected.
Originally, in Levi's opinion, Odin is much calmer now than in his early days.
But from his performance in the Thor series, it can be seen that his arrogant attitude has never changed.
Although his communication with Sif is nominally on behalf of Kamar-Taj and the Supreme Ancient One.
But family members know their own business.
Levi's so-called representatives are all self-proclaimed, and he has not really obtained the authorization of Kamar-Taj and the Ancient One.
As far as this matter is concerned, his behavior is actually not much different from that of SHIELD.
It's just different from SHIELD's big cake.
Levi at least provided Amora's specific information.
Although part of the truth was concealed, at least Amora's whereabouts were true.
But with this little help.
Levi really doesn't think Odin will have any expression.
After all, he is the king of the gods and the guardian of the nine realms.
And what level is he, Levi?
So in essence, compared to Odin's illusory "expression", Levi pays more attention to the communication with Sif and to establish a good relationship.
He thought that it would lay a certain foundation for future contact with Thor.
But what he didn't expect was that Odin seemed to attach great importance to this matter.
Only three days later, Sif came to Earth again through the Rainbow Bridge.
The Asgardians did a good job in keeping a low profile.
Of course, it may also be because of Levi's reminder last time.
Anyway, the place where they landed was in an uninhabited area in the wilderness.
And the first time they landed, Sif tore open a scroll.
However, this scroll was not the recall scroll of Levi's glyph skill.
It was a communication scroll in the Kamar-Taj spell.
It was given to Sif by Levi before she left last time.
When Levi received the message, he was practicing forging and was very surprised by Sif's arrival.
But he rushed to the location where the magic communication came from as soon as possible.
It turned out that Sif was not the only one who came, but also brought several Asgard guards, all holding things in their hands.
"Ms. Sif, what is this...?" Levi asked hesitantly.
"Master Victor, thank you very much for the information you provided. My king has confirmed the authenticity of the information you provided. Amora has indeed gone to a certain hell plane. In order to thank you for the information you provided, my king entrusted me to bring some small gifts. Please accept them. At the same time, I also say hello to the Supreme Ancient One on my behalf!" Sif bowed slightly to Levi and then explained.
Well, after hearing Sif's words, Levi understood that what Odin valued was not the information he provided, but the Ancient One behind him!
"Thank you very much for the generous gift from His Majesty Odin. Why don't you come back to the temple with me to discuss in detail?" Since the other party was so serious, Levi couldn't be stingy.
He immediately prepared to invite Sif and her party to sit in the New York Temple.
Last time, because of the position problem, his attitude was not very good. He was anxious to "drive" Sif back to Asgard and didn't even pour her a glass of water in the New York Temple.
Now that the other party has brought gifts, Levi must invite them for a cup of tea.
"No, Master Victor, we have other things to do, so we won't bother you any more." However, Sif refused Levi's invitation and prepared to leave after giving the gift.
How can this be?
Levi remembered Tony's reminder this time and wanted the other party to bring some goods.
"In fact, I actually have a little favor to ask for, ma'am!" Seeing that the other party had no intention of staying, Levi was not vague and directly stated his purpose.
"Master Victor, please tell me, as long as it is something I can do, I will definitely not shirk it!" Hearing Levi's words, Sif was a little surprised, but she also agreed very straightforwardly.
"I want to ask Ms. Sif to help me buy a spaceship that can travel long distances and the corresponding star map. The spaceship does not need to be too big, any civilization is fine, of course, if there are corresponding driving instructors and the like, it would be best! Of course, the relevant expenses must be borne by ourselves. I don't know if it can be paid with gold or other precious metals on Earth. If not, I can also pay with magic items!!" Levi asked very sincerely.
After all, it's a request, so I have to lower my attitude.
"Also, I hope to buy a batch of spiritual pattern cloth, and I can use the same payment method as the spaceship."
"Is that so? The spiritual pattern cloth is very simple. I'll have someone bring a batch to you later. But as for the spaceship and star map, I can't give them to you because Asgard's related items are not for sale."
"But it's not difficult for other civilizations. Just find predators. Gold is also a relatively popular currency in the universe and can be used for payment. It's just that the cost will be more expensive. According to my personal experience, a small combat spaceship with about five seats is estimated to require one thousand standard units of gold. According to your human measurement unit, it is about 800 kilograms... I wonder if Master Victor can accept this price?" Faced with Levi's request, Sif did not refuse, but after a little thought, gave an approximate price.
Because Sif had been in S.H.I.E.L.D. for a while, she also had a little understanding of the measurement units on Earth, so she gave such a more accurate number.
However, when Levi heard the price given by Sif, he was shocked.
"How much did you say?"
"About 800 kilograms of gold. If Master Victor is in trouble, I can lend you some personally." Sif thought that Levi thought it was expensive, and said hurriedly.
"No, no, no, not at all." Levi waved his hand hurriedly.
Because he didn't think the price Sif said was too expensive.
On the contrary, he thought it was too cheap.
How much is 800 kilograms of gold?
Recently, Levi has not paid much attention to the price of gold, but he still remembers the price when he bought gold through a trading company two years ago to practice his secondary profession.
It is about 400 US dollars per ounce, and one ounce is 28.35 grams.
And 800 kilograms is about 28,000 ounces, equivalent to more than 10 million US dollars.
More than 10 million US dollars is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for most people on earth.
But for the top rich, it is not a big number.
This price is not comparable to Tony's iron armor, even most of the weapons and equipment on earth cannot compare.
Not to mention the top equipment like F22 and Apache.
Even a Black Hawk helicopter costs more than 20 million US dollars.
And a small combat aircraft costs only 10 million? ? ? ?
Isn’t this a bargain?
