Josie was unaware of Carter's thoughts at that moment, and had no time to care.
Because the main character here has already appeared in front of us.
"Please allow me to introduce you to the greatest collector in the universe, Tanlia Tivan!" The alien maid introduced the tall figure in front of her, dressed in an unknown fur coat, to the crowd in an extremely high-pitched voice.
As the other person turned around, a strange man dressed in a flashy manner and wearing goggles came into view.
"Ah~ Welcome to the distinguished Mr. Josie Kahn from Earth~ To be honest, I find it hard to believe that such an backward planet could produce, well, a second human being so outstanding!" After the maid finished her introduction, the Collector said with great enthusiasm, opening his arms wide.
The backward planet he was referring to was, of course, Earth.
As for why Josie is the second outstanding human on Earth—it goes without saying, it's definitely the Ancient One.
What? Dracula? From the moment he became a vampire, he ceased to be human.
“I am also honored to meet the renowned Collector of the universe!” Josie stepped forward slightly and said with a warm smile.
“Excuse me, wait a minute. If I’m not mistaken, this gentleman is a light elf? No, that’s not right. Your aura is different from that of a light elf. Wow, a completely new elf species. That’s so rare. Gentleman elf, please allow me to pay to collect your remains… Of course, that will be after you pass away!” Just as the collector was about to continue talking to Josie, his gaze swept over Talonnicus behind him, and his eyes immediately lit up as he developed his professional instincts.
Talonnicus's anger was palpable in the face of such offensive words.
Although he had submitted to Josie long after arriving in this world, it did not mean that he had given up his pride as a high elf.
He has always been dismissive of ordinary humans and species.
So he was certainly unhappy about the collector's offense.
However, because Josie had told him beforehand that this was an ancient and powerful being, he did not act out.
However, while he was angry, he also noticed a word that the collector had mentioned.
That's the spirit of light... So, there are actually spirits in this world?
Of course, he knew very well that this light spirit was definitely not the same as their high elves, but that did not stop him from being curious about this so-called light spirit.
"Ahem, Collector, I am indeed here to make a deal with you, but this is my trusted subordinate, and there is absolutely no way he would trade with you. His corpse is also absolutely out of the question. If you don't want our deal to fall through, you'd better put away your little schemes!" Josie coughed twice, rolled her eyes, and warned the Collector.
Although he didn't want to offend this cosmic elder, it didn't mean he was afraid.
If you piss me off, believe me, I'll cleave your entire lair in two with one sword.
Fortunately, the Collector was sensible. After all, he had lived for billions of years and was already a genius. After confirming that Josie would not sell Talonnicus, he stopped bothering her.
"That's a real shame. So, Mr. Kahn, would you sell the Cosmic Stone you have on you? Although you hid it well, I can still smell the residual scent of the Cosmic Stone on you!" However, instead of buying Talonnicus, he set his sights on the Power Stone on Josie.
Unlike Josie's other collectibles, such as Thor's hammer and Thor, Ea is, in a sense, one with Josie. Moreover, like other artifacts such as Thor's hammer and Stormbreaker, it possesses its own consciousness, which cannot be controlled by others. Unlike the Sword in the Stone, it cannot be easily stolen.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Josie would not store it in the system space, but would carry it with her at her waist. She also specially equipped it with a scabbard made of vibranium and an alloy of the Eternals' body materials. In addition, with the Ea's own ability to conceal its aura, it looks no different from an ordinary accessory, just a bit more ornate.
However, after the Power Gem is embedded, its aura is not so easy to conceal.
Under the cover of divine power, ordinary people cannot detect it, but in the face of an ancient being like the Collector, it cannot be hidden at all.
only……
"Infinity Stones? Heh, even if I were willing to sell... could you afford the price?" Upon hearing the Collector mention the Power Stone, Josie sneered, and the sword Ea was only slightly drawn from its sheath when a surge of violent energy instantly rushed towards the Collector.
"Stop, stop, stop! I'm not buying it!" The collector hurriedly shouted when he saw this. He had only sensed a trace of the Infinity Stone, so he thought the Infinity Stone was with Josie.
He simply didn't believe that Josie could control the Infinity Stones, and even doubted whether Josie truly knew their value, which was why he deliberately tested her.
However, judging from Josie's demeanor, she clearly has complete control over the Infinity Stones.
That's a completely different matter.
Just like with Dracula before, the Collector immediately labeled Josie as someone not to be messed with.
Admittedly, the Collector is immortal, but he still feels pain.
He doesn't want to experience being sliced into pieces or blasted to smithereens by the energy of the Infinity Stones. He's not like Deadpool, that weirdo who gets excited the more he gets hurt.
Huh? Who is Deadpool?
Seeing the Collector back down, Josie also took the opportunity to sheath the half-exposed Ea, and the violent energy dissipated instantly.
“Ahem, esteemed Mr. Kahn, you sent a message before you came saying that you possessed quite a few goods that I was interested in. Are those the ones?” The Collector pointed to the boxes carried by the robots behind Josie and her group.
After testing the waters and confirming that Josie was not someone to be trifled with, the collectors finally calmed down and prepared to formally discuss their deal.
“That’s right, bring it up!” Josie nodded and waved her hand, signaling the robot behind her to bring the goods up.
Soon, the first metal box was brought up. When it was opened, it turned out to be a cryogenic life support pod, and inside lay a troll.
“This is a troll, a creature from another world, possessing extremely strong vitality. It’s a living… Collector, what do you think?” Josie introduced, pointing to the troll in the box.
Behind Josie, Talonnicus showed no surprise at seeing the troll in the life support pod; in fact, he even seemed to be gloating.
Of the trolls that were obtained from Little Abidis, aside from a few that secretly submitted to Josie along with the sorcerer Malacas and were hidden away, the remaining ones were known to the elves.
Josie's explanation for this was that these trolls and they had suddenly appeared in this world together.
The elves, however, received excellent treatment, while the trolls were reduced to prisoners and experimental subjects.
The five elves, led by Vereesa, felt only pleasure in torturing their enemy and had no doubts whatsoever.
Upon seeing the trolls in the cargo hold and listening to Josie's explanation, the Collector's eyes lit up.
"Absolutely top-notch, simply top-notch!"
"Hehe, collector, don't be in a hurry, there are many more good things to come!" Josie said with a smile and waved her hand.
Soon, a second cabinet was brought up, and when it was opened, a mummy was found inside.
However, this mummy was extremely tall, over three meters, and its appearance was somewhat human-like.
“This is a Vrykul, a creature from another world, but they are basically extinct, so there’s only one mummy!” Josie shrugged.
Without a doubt, the Vrykul were also obtained by Abidis the Younger.
Over the past few years, the mischievous Abidis has become increasingly restless. Under Josie's guidance, and even with his noble status and the shipbuilding technology provided by Josie, he has begun to build an ocean exploration fleet and start exploring Northrend.
Compared to other regions, Northrend was relatively weak at this time.
This Vrykul mummy was found in Northrend.
Of course, the claim that the Vrykul were wiped out was just something Josie made up; most of the Vrykul were simply asleep due to the Curse of Flesh.
However, Josie had other plans for those dormant Vrykul.
Chapter 276 Loki
The troll and Vrykul mummies are just the beginning; next up are the crocodile and wolverine races, also native to Northrend.
And the specialties of Elwynn Forest, the nightmares of human civilians: gnolls, murlocs, lobster people, and kobolds, as well as the specialties of Kalimdor: centaurs, boar people, bear people, and harpies.
There are even Naga and Goblins.
In addition, there are some special creatures such as elemental creatures, alien insects, and slimes.
The collector was overjoyed to see each of the "rare" items.
"Your Excellency Tivan, what do you think of the quality of these goods?" Josie asked deliberately, observing the other man's expression.
It must be said that Azeroth is truly a treasure trove of a world, with an incredible diversity of species.
These are not all of the items currently being sold to collectors.
However, the other races are rather special, and Josie does not intend to sell them.
For example, night elves, tauren, dryads, etc...
Not surprisingly.
With Josie's financial support, Abidis Jr. secretly assembled an ocean-going fleet. Although it was called an expedition, it was actually no different from the expeditions of various European countries during the Age of Exploration. It was full of desperados.
If the other party is powerful, then trade honestly.
But given the chance... hehe.
This pattern is actually the norm in Azeroth.
The famous sea kingdom of Kul Tiras also started in this way.
Therefore, although capturing species such as night elves, tauren, and dryads is extremely risky, there are always people willing to do it. For example, during the game's storyline, when Varian was banished by Onyxia, he encountered the night druid Broll Bearskin and the blood elf rogue Valeera Sangunar in the arena, both of whom were slave gladiators.
Therefore, even powerful races like the night elves and high elves, though rare, are not uncommon in Azeroth.
Of course, the slaves of these two races are also the most expensive on the black market.
“Good, good, good, very good! Mr. Kahn, I must say, you have given me a tremendous surprise. I have lived for so long and I have never seen such interesting races before. It is really interesting!” The Collector said with a fascination as he stared intently at a slime monster.
However, he wisely refrained from asking Josie how she obtained this species.
At their level, it's perfectly normal to have a few little secrets.
Asking too many questions will only bring trouble upon yourself.
“If Your Excellency Tivan likes it, then is it…” Josie said with a smile, gesturing with her thumb and forefinger.
"Oh, of course, Mr. Kahn, please name your price!" The collector understood upon seeing this.
“Before I came here, I inquired about the prices of most of your collections of various races. The price difference is not small. However, the ones I’m selling to you are basically unique pieces… So how about one hundred million for each one?” Josie directly asked for an exorbitant price.
This is indeed an astronomical price, because based on the purchasing power of Star Dollars in the universe, the basic model of Star-Lord's combat spaceship in the movie is only worth about 100,000.
A single Kree Empire frigate costs only a few million.
