Chapter 237 Cosmo and Howard

The dog and duck that Levi wants are naturally not ordinary creatures.

In fact, people who have a certain understanding of Marvel know these two extremely special characters, and they are also famous characters.

The dog is Cosmo, a space dog.

The duck is Howard the Duck.

The former was sent into space during the Mao Bear period of the Marvel Universe for the preliminary experiment of manned space flight.

The prototype is Laika, who was sent into space by Mao Bear Country on Earth where Levi lived in his previous life.

The difference is that Laika in the original world was a mixed-blood stray dog ​​on the streets of Moscow. Not long after being sent into space, she died for various reasons, and her body is still floating in the Earth's orbit with the spacecraft launched at that time decades later.

In the Marvel Universe, Cosmo is a purebred golden retriever. After being sent into space by Mao Bear, he did not die.

Instead, he left the Earth's orbit by chance, floated into the universe, and then somehow fell into the hands of the collector.

And a very important point is that during decades of wandering in space, Cosmo, due to unknown special reasons, was born with wisdom that is not inferior to that of humans, and has extremely powerful mind control ability - although Levi has not watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3, he does not know that this dog has performed well when facing the Supreme Evolutionary Legion, and has officially joined the new generation of Guardians of the Galaxy with Rocket as the captain.

But Levi has watched the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special. In this short film, Cosmo has initially demonstrated its wisdom and ability.

(In the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, the Collector has sold the Land of Nowhere to the Guardians of the Galaxy, and Rocket commands Cosmo to hang a protective plate)

In fact, although he has not watched Guardians of the Galaxy 3, it does not prevent him from inferring from various signs in the movie that Cosmo will have a relatively important role in the future Guardians of the Galaxy plot.

Such a special existence, and also a "fellow countryman" on Earth.

Of course, Levi will not let it go.

Howard the Duck is a bit more complicated.

Because Howard the Duck's existence is different from Cosmo, Rocket and the like, and is not a biological mutation.

Rather, he is more like a time traveler like Levi - he comes from a duck world - in fact, it is the Earth in a parallel universe where ducks are the main intelligent life.

In the Guardians of the Galaxy series, he, like Cosmo, appears as a passerby many times.

In Guardians of the Galaxy 1, he was locked in a display cabinet like Cosmo.

However, when the Collector's residence was destroyed by the energy of the violent power gem, he and Cosmo were released together.

In the easter egg at the end of the film, he was drinking with the Collector, and Cosmo was licking the Collector's face.

In Guardians of the Galaxy 2, he appeared on Contrasha and had fun.

And few people know that Howard the Duck also participated in the final battle of Avengers 4 with the Plunder.

It's just that there were very few shots at that time, just a passing shot when the Wasp appeared.

It is also because of the specialness of these two guys that Levi doesn't mind paying some price in exchange for their freedom, in order to enrich the talent pool of the alliance to a certain extent.

But now the obvious behavior of the Collector to raise the price really makes Levi a little unhappy.

You sold the Land of Nowhere to the Guardians of the Galaxy (Nebula said in the Guardians of the Galaxy special that they bought the Land of Nowhere from the Collector, but I personally think that with the not-so-rich assets of the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Collector probably sold it to them half-sold and half-given), put a lot of collections, and there was no special request.

Why did I raise the price?

Of course, Levi also understood that the Collector sold the Land of Nowhere to the Guardians of the Galaxy half-sold and half-given, mainly because the Guardians of the Galaxy saved him-after all, in Avengers 3, the entire Land of Nowhere was almost demolished by Thanos.

The Collector himself was probably beaten half to death, so he had to hand over the Reality Stone.

But knowing it, Levi was still unhappy.

So... do you want to grab it?

Anyway, he has the Power Stone, Time Stone, and Space Stone in his hands, so why is he afraid of a mere Collector?

Thinking of this, Levi's eyes couldn't help but wander.

"Ah... I suddenly feel that I don't like these two collections very much. If you want them, I will give them to you at the current price!" Just when Levi was thinking about whether to change the transaction to robbery, the collector suddenly shuddered, then changed his tone and agreed to the transaction.

"That's great, thank you for your generosity, the deal is done!" Levi, who was still thinking, heard the collector's words. Although he didn't know why the other party's attitude suddenly changed, it was a good thing, wasn't it?

So he immediately threw several items including the magic carpet that had been agreed to on the collector's table, fearing that the other party would just return.

And the collector didn't seem to have any intention of regretting it, and directly ordered the maid to open the display cabinets of Cosmo and Howard Duck.

"Woof woof (Thank you for saving me, I was locked in that box for decades, but I was suffocated to death!)!" As soon as Cosmo was released from the display cabinet, he rushed towards Levi.

At the same time as it was calling, Levi and the other three were surprised to hear a clear female voice thanking them.

"Wow, it's amazing, was it you who was talking just now?" Jessica looked at Cosmo and exclaimed.

Although Levi had actually told them about Cosmo's magic before coming.

But she was still very surprised to hear Cosmo speak.

Mantis and Bullseye also expressed the same.

"So you are a girl?" But compared to the other three, Levi's focus is obviously more special.

Because in the early comics, Cosmo was set as a male dog.

But in the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special, Cosmo had lines for the first time, but its voice was female.

But Marvel officials did not indicate that it was female.

So Levi was actually quite curious about this.

"Yes, I am a girl. Are you from Earth? Bear people? Come to save me?" Cosmo replied, and then asked curiously.

"Yes, we are from Earth, and we are indeed here to save you, but we are not Bear people, because unfortunately, Bear Country no longer exists. We also heard your story and accidentally knew that you were here, so we came to save you!" Levi touched the other party's smooth fur and replied.

"The bear is gone? That's really sad news." Cosmo felt very comfortable when Levi touched him. Although he had wisdom, he had been locked up for decades, and his nature as a pet dog had not changed much. He just liked his owner's praise and touch.

When he said that the bear no longer existed, although he said it was regretful, his tone was full of gloating.

It is not difficult to see that although he was very friendly to humans, Cosmo still had resentment in his heart about being sent into space that year.

Hearing this, Levi immediately comforted Cosmo and handed it to Mantis and Jessica, two little girls who like small animals.

Then he wanted to see Howard the Duck walking away in a suit and leather shoes.

"Hello Howard, I don't think I need to say more about the current situation. In fact, my purpose is to invite you to join our organization!" Levi made an invitation and said.

"I don't want to say anything else now, I just want to have a drink, okay?" Howard the Duck did not agree immediately, but asked back.

"Of course!"
