Chapter 237: The Bitter Journey to Saka (Part 1)
"Now, we can talk about other issues." Schiller turned on the desk lamp again and dimmed the light.
When Loki looked at him, Schiller's eyes also fell on Loki, and then he said: "For example, your hospital expenses."
"In fact, I think I can pay for it myself this time."
Schiller moved his eyes to his unformed body, and then moved back to his head. Loki understood what he meant, and said: "I think you should want something more than money."
"For example?"
"For example, fun."
Loki, who could only move his head, showed a sly smile and said: "Before sending Thor to Sakaar through the space channel, I left something on him."
As he said, Loki's eyes flashed, and a magic vortex appeared in the room, and then gradually grew larger and turned into a round magic screen.
On the screen, a man with long golden hair leaned on a piece of tattered iron sheet, sweat flowing down his long hair, soaked clothes sticking to his body, his face was full of dirt, and he looked very embarrassed.
Next to him, a strange-looking bird was talking to another Sakaar with red skin and a very ferocious appearance. The bird made a shrill voice: "Yes, he is the garbage I picked up in Woka, just like the two unlucky guys last week."
"Listen, my base price is 200 Sakabi, it can't be lower. Look at his appearance, he is so strong, even stronger than many Sakaar..."
"You know, this quality of garbage is not much these days. Whether it is taken to the mine or sent to the arena, it is a good choice."
The red-skinned Sakaar shook his head, clicked his tongue, spit to the side, and said: "200 Sakabi? No way! Listen There is a lot of garbage thrown in recently, and it is definitely not worth this price..."
"The arena is full, so I can only take him to the mine to work, and the poor guys over there can't offer a good price. Even if he is still strong, he looks like his brain has been burned out. The greedy mine owners will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price. "
"No, no, no." The big bird moved its legs and walked back to the iron shed, and said to Thor: "Hey! What's your name? Tell him what your name is and where you are from, to prove that you are not a fool. "
Thor just leaned against the wall behind him blankly, saying nothing. The big bird pecked him with its beak, and he let out a cry of pain, then raised his eyelids and looked at the big bird.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the big bird was a little angry. He whispered to Thor: "Don't cause trouble for me. Everyone in this area knows the name of "Red Wing". I am already the most tolerant garbage dump owner here. If you make me unable to sell at a high price, I will see how I deal with you..."
The red-skinned Sakaar poked his head in and said: "Don't try. Haven't you seen enough people like this? Judging from his appearance and clothes, he should be a noble. They threw him here like garbage. It will definitely damage his brain and prevent him from telling any important secrets..."
The big bird made a "cough cough" sound from its throat, then opened its beak and pecked Thor's shoulder hard. Its sharp beak pierced Thor's shoulder, taking off a piece of meat, and immediately bleeding. Thor screamed, but still stayed there with a dull look in his eyes.
The big bird named Red Wing showed a human-like disappointed expression on his face and said, "Well, it seems that I shouldn't have too high expectations. He could still talk when I picked him up. What happened now?"
"Listen, big guy, 150 Sakabi, absolutely no lower."
"If it's higher than 120, I won't take him. After all, he is sold to the mine owner. Although he looks a little strong, he won't live for more than a month." The big red guy shook his head and said, "The mine owner will never pay more than 150. You have to give me some room to make money..."
"Don't joke, I fed him a lot of water and even gave him some food to wake him up. These things alone are more than 120..."
The big red guy took out a cigarette-like thing from his clothes, and Red Wing's eyes lit up immediately. It said, "Gray grass root? You got it from Where did you find this thing?"
"The last convoy that came here was wiped out on the way. I found some good stuff in the cargo box. I can give you a pack and 120 Sakabi. Give me this big blond guy, and I will patronize your business next time..."
Red Wing flapped his wings and scratched the ground with his claws. He looked a little hesitant and a little excited. He looked back at Thor who was dazed and said, "Okay, deal."
After that, it cursed again: "Damn, I thought it would be a high-priced good stuff this time, but it was still like this. This damn place hasn't dropped good stuff for a long time..."
Then, it stretched out its wings and flapped Thor on the ground, making him roll on the ground for several times, covered with mud. The big red monster walked up to grab Thor's neck, but Thor instinctively struggled and punched him in the arm.
The big red guy took a breath and kicked Thor on the head. Red Wing said, "This guy should have been a warrior before. It's normal for him to be a little wild. Where's your chain?"
The big red guy spit again and walked out of the tin shed. There was a big cart pulled by strange bugs outside. He searched in the cart and finally found a heavy iron chain. One end of the chain was an iron ring and the other end was a spike.
"Are they going to tie him up?" Strange asked in front of the magic screen: "Although I don't understand what they are saying, it seems that Thor is going to be in trouble."
"They are speaking the common language of the Tianfu Galaxy. I can probably understand a little bit." Loki on the bed said: "The big red bird is the owner of the garbage dump there, specializing in picking up some aliens that have been thrown down."
"Thrown down aliens, there are often aliens falling from the sky there?" Strange asked puzzledly,
"Sakaar is also known as the interstellar garbage dump, or the entire Tayo Galaxy is like this. The cosmic environment there is very special. The outer layer is surrounded by special cosmic channels. It is impossible to enter and exit in the normal way. Many civilizations will throw some dangerous garbage in, so as to ensure that these garbage will not easily spread out of this galaxy."
"Of course, these garbage also include some difficult to deal with people." Loki smiled maliciously and said: "So I Just now, this suits him very well. It's better for the garbage to stay where it belongs. "
Schiller looked at Loki, and his tone seemed quite interested. He said, "It seems that when I was giving you psychological counseling, you also tried to understand me. Well, your reward is indeed not bad."
"But I have to remind you..." Schiller first tilted his head and looked out the window, then looked into Loki's eyes and said, "When you treat others as fun, it's best to be prepared to become a fun yourself."
Loki heard that he meant something, but he didn't realize what he meant. Looking at the changes in the picture on the magic screen, he smiled again and said, "This is indeed very fun. It seems that they want to put a collar on Thor and tie him up like a dog."
Loki looked at Schiller. He saw that his expression was a little strange, as if he had expected something, but he didn't guess what Schiller was thinking at all, and continued to stare at the image on the magic screen.
The big red guy carried the extremely thick iron chain and walked into the dilapidated iron shed, and then he picked up one end of the chain.
"Hey, wait!" Strange, who was off-screen, watched his movements and said, "Did he hold it the wrong way? How..."
As he spoke, the spiked end of the chain pierced into Thor's body and passed through his shoulder blade. Thor screamed like he was dying, and blood spurted out.
The spike passed through his body, and the big red guy took out a bolt, screwed it on the top of the spike that broke through his body, and then knocked it in front, and the whole spike was fixed on Thor's shoulder. Thor kept screaming and breathing, shaking on the ground.
The big red guy picked up the ring on the other side of the chain and said, "Now he should be more obedient. Let's go."
Off-screen Strange put his index finger on his philtrum and said, "I thought..."
"It seems that you are not the only one who thought so..." Schiller looked back at Loki. Seeing the smile on Loki's face gradually disappear, Schiller asked, "What are you surprised about? Only the spiked end of the chain has blood stains."
Thor's hands were tied behind his back. The big red guy led him with the spike that pierced his body and walked to the big car pulled by the bugs.
The big red guy knocked hard on the back cover of the car. The oval iron car opened the rear door. The big red guy didn't seem to know magic, but he was very strong. He jumped directly onto the car and dragged Thor in.
His posture and movements were like treating a piece of steak. He didn't care about the wound on Thor's body at all. Thor didn't struggle at all. He just moaned in pain instinctively, as if he had really become a piece of steak to be slaughtered.
Thor was stuffed into the darkest compartment at the end of the car. The space there was very small. Thor had to curl up to stay there. More importantly, the chain connected to the spikes on his shoulders was fixed on his head.
The tail was the most bumpy part of the car. After the car started, Thor's shoulder would bleed a lot every time it bumped.
Thor's screams were not abrupt, because the entire car was filled with garbage like him who were picked up from the garbage dump. Most of them were covered in blood, their eyes were dull, and they kept screaming in the dark and narrow cage.
The light green in the sky of Saka was replaced by a psychedelic red-purple. The huge planet with a star ring in the sky landed on the horizon. The light of the setting sun turned the red earth into the color of blood. The huge prison car looked extremely small on the horizon.
The insects pulling the cart and the cart behind it turned into tiny black dots against the light, speeding past in the setting sun, raising thick smoke and dust. Bird-shaped beasts streaked across the sky, making sharp cries, and after smelling the blood on the cart, they chased after it and merged into the raised smoke and dust.
The alien insects pulling the carts made low noises, and the tires scratched the rough ground, leaving charred tracks. As they slowly braked, the smoke and dust became thicker and thicker. With a clang, the entire convoy stopped.
In front of them was a gate made of thick logs. The rows of wooden spikes on top of the gate looked even more ferocious under the setting sun. Looking down, a huge plaque was written in rough font - "Red Ring Mine".
