103. Sandworm's Nest
"You mean you want me to continue to complete what the Pirate King Jack has not completed and to clean up the sandstone worms in the wormholes regularly?" I sat on a reef with my knees in my hands, with my head on my knees, and opened my eyes wide and looked at the huge head floating on the sea, asking it.
"That's right." Ramos blinked his huge eyes, and he liked to enter my spiritual sea to communicate with me.
I secretly calculated what I had to do next, and found that there were many things to do, such as completing my studies at the Royal Magic Academy, qualifying as an inscription master at the Magic Union, and rushing to Qiyan City with soul gems and soul horns. Before graduation, I was still on the task of building the town of Trum, otherwise I would lose that rich territory. In addition, I promised that after Duchess Jingyue would join the army and serve in the North Wind Legion after graduation. I was really a little busy.
I grabbed my hair in distress and said to Ramos: "But I still have to complete my studies, and maybe I have to take a break from school for a while to complete this experience in the wilderness swamp in the southern part of Qiyan Province. There is no way to help you clean up those sandstone worms regularly."
“…”
Ramos became very depressed and even too lazy to talk.
"Ramos, your physical condition doesn't look so optimistic." I said to Ramos, the mountain dragon turtle.
A dull sigh came from the sea of spirit.
Ramos' huge head is like a reef on the sea surface. Its neck is completely immersed in the sea. Its breathes very long. Every time the air wave exhales, it will form a whirlwind soaring into the sky on the sea surface. Even the sea water will be brought into the sky, and a beautiful rainbow will be formed under the refraction of the sun.
I then said to Ramos: "Although the female worm was killed by us, the mountain seemed to be hollowed out by those worms. It would be a very energy-consuming thing to clean up the remaining sandstone worms and insect eggs in the wormhole. I am an ordinary magician from the Green Empire and I don't have the ability to continue to help you."
Ramos' huge head protruded from the sea, and it gasped heavily, and its emotions seemed a little unstable.
"Ramos, don't worry, please listen to me finish your words first." I said to Ramos.
I pointed my finger at my head and said, "I have a better note, you might as well listen."
Seeing Ramos floating on the sea again, with some confusion in his eyes, I quickly said, "The reason why the pirate king was able to establish such a contractual relationship with you is because he wanted to rely on your power to establish his own career in the Vasqi plane. Obviously, with your help, he successfully became the pirate king."
I rubbed my hands and said, "It's a pity that our lives are so short! You will be like a river that continues to meander. Compared with the mountain dragon turtle, our human life span is like a water splash in the long river of life, blooming "swoosh" and then falling into the river and disappearing!"
Then, memory fragments were unfolded in the sea of spirit, allowing Ramos to clearly see some legends about the Pirate King: "Although Mr. Jack made some preparations, he had some minor problems in choosing his heirs, which directly led to no one who could help you clean up the sandstone worms on the back of the turtle in recent decades, causing the flood of sandstone worms and even the birth of more powerful female worms."
"To avoid this happening in the future, I suggest you find a more reliable person to act as your guardian," I said.
A trace of suspicion flashed in the huge eyes.
I continued, "To be honest... any guardian will have a little selfishness. This is human nature. You cannot ask those guardians to be as sincere as the fanatical believers in the temple, just like Jack the pirate king. If it weren't for his selfishness, you wouldn't have been in this situation today."
When he said this, a sharpness flashed in Ramos's eyes. I knew that he felt uncomfortable when he said this.
So I immediately changed my tone and said, "But I believe that when you reached a contract with him, his ideas should be very simple, and it will definitely not be what he would have been like later. However, when he slowly became the pirate king of the Vasqi plane, his strength changed and his heart also changed."
It seems a little impatient.
I said again: "So let me talk about my thoughts first. Instead of your guardian regularly coming to this rock turtle floating island every year and entering the wormhole to clear out the sandstone worms, it is better to let the guardian lead people to build a city on your turtle's back, so that the people living in this city will become the guardians of the rock turtle floating island for generations. What's this idea?"
Its head suddenly rose from the sea, causing huge ripples, and the waves hit the sea surface in a flash.
It asked me, "You mean to build a city on my back?"
I don't know if it was angry or a little shocked, but he looked at me condescendingly. His movement scared the sailors on the Golden Sea boat trembled.
There is a legend about the mountain dragon turtle in Vasqi, and the sailors are full of admiration and fear.
I guess that legend may have been fabricated by the Pirate King, whose purpose is to keep those pirates away from the mountain dragon turtle.
The huge head like a warship rubs against the edge of the golden sea ship and passes over the sea ship, scaring several timid sailors into the sea one after another.
I replied: "Yes!"
Then he continued: "Since you can carry three peaks, a city should not be a problem for you. If a city is built here, your safety will be closely related to the people living here, and they will naturally work hard to maintain the stability of the island. Please don't worry that those people will mess up your turtle back. After all, you are the owner of this place. There are some things you can ask them to do, they must do, otherwise they will be driven out of here."
"Yangui Floating Island... This name is pretty good. Building a city is also a good idea." Ramos said to me.
Then it began to become a little confused and expressed his concern to me: "But where should I find those guardians? Who would like to build a city here? This is probably more difficult than finding a guardian."
When Ramos spoke, countless mists spewed out of his mouth and nose and fell around me, like a light rain on a sunny day.
I stood up from the sea rocks, and to be honest, I don't think it was a sea rock, maybe it was Ramos' calcified skirt, in short, his back carries an island, whose lifespan can be traced back to the last racial war, and something incomprehensible appeared on it, which was nothing.
He raised his chest, patted his chest with his hands, and promised Ramos with confidence: "If you want, leave it to me. I think my friend Noah will be very interested in it, but I need to listen to his opinions and I will try to convince him."
Hearing me say this, the huge head floating in the sky shook and immediately turned into a rolling thunder: "Jijia, you are a warm-hearted magician."
"The warm-hearted magician..."
The sound echoed between the peaks, and the sailors on the Golden Sea boat looked at me. They didn't know what was going on here, which actually made Ramos so excited.
I touched my nose and felt that I shouldn't have been fooled by this matter, because the answer will be revealed sooner or later. Instead of putting Ramosmond in the dark, he would feel uncomfortable when he knew the truth of the matter later. He wouldn't tell the truth at this moment, at least he would feel that I was still an honest person.
So I said to it: "This... Mr. Ramos, you may not know that being able to build a city on your back means you will be protected by you, I don't know how many people want to live such a comfortable life, I don't know how many people in Vasqi plane want to rest assured, this matter is for me."
When I said this, the first thing I thought of was Noah.
I think Noah can build a city here in the name of the Mensa family. This city will become the safest place in the Vasqi plane, with the protection of level five monsters here. On the Vasqi plane, there are almost no species that can compete with the mountain dragon turtle.
Building a city on the back of a turtle can also become Noah's original foundation, which is equivalent to an independent semi-plane for Noah.
This is an invisible wealth. If it can be negotiated, it will be no less valuable than the treasure of the Pirate King. In fact, I have also considered leaving this Rock Turtle Island for myself, but... regardless of whether the Mensa family agrees or not, I don’t have the energy to manage it myself. Now the Xinliu Valley is in chaos and there is also the Trum Town waiting for me to build. Where can I have the energy to build the Rock Turtle Island City?
The Vasqi plane is a private plane of the Mensa family. Because of the rebellion of Marquis Boris, the Vasqi plane will be independent of the Mensa family system. However, Marquis Christopher has already made his position clear. Although he felt that it was inappropriate for Marquis Boris to declare the independence of the Vasqi plane at this time, as Marquis Boris' brother, Marquis Christopher adopted a strategy of not supporting or opposing it.
Marquis Christopher once told us that this is a private matter of the Mensa family and that no one wants to participate. If Louis has the ability, it would be better to recover the Vaschi plane.
Speaking of which, from the moment we transformed the Golden Sea Ship, Noah and I knew that it was only a matter of time before we recovered the Vasqi plane. When we returned to Ilinas on the Golden Sea Ship, it was the moment when Louis led the army to counterattack the Vasqi plane. However, the Vasqi plane now has no suitable place for Louis' army to settle down. If we insist on saying that there is, there is only Hauskhuf Island.
It is just that House Khufu Island is in the waters under the jurisdiction of Marquis Christopher. If Louis stops his army here, his every move will fall into the eyes of Marquis Christopher without any concealment. This is not a good thing.
So, Louis needs such a hidden island as a base.
I called Noah, who was supervising sailors to transform the Golden Sea Ship on the Golden Sea Ship.
At this time, he had been holding the design drawings of the sea boats in the past few days, and followed the sailors to replace the magic rune board outside the hull, and helped Senior Dylan install the central device of the large magic array in the cabin under the deck to make the initial connection of the magic array on the ship.
When Noah rode a magic stick, he was holding a design drawing in his hand. When he saw me, he said, "Gija, we have almost used up all the 'Void Ink' we prepared. Next, the magic rune boards will be replaced, and maybe it will slow down. I will go to Yam Island with Jacques tomorrow and bring our magic crystals with us. I hope there is enough magic materials there!"
I asked in surprise, "Isn't it enough? This is really bad, otherwise, senior Dylan and I will find another tidal island and hunt some sea beasts?"
Noah said: "Senior Dylan is still preparing new starry sky ink. There should be some, but it is definitely not enough. According to Senior Dylan's drawings, the entire ship needs to be painted with magic runes. You can first transform these magic rune boards and raise magic materials to me and Jacques. We have so many magic crystals, and I don't believe we can't buy them. That...why did you ask me to come here?"
When Noah asked me, I remembered the purpose of calling Noah over, so I said, "I reached an agreement with Ramos. I asked you to come to see if you are willing to do this."
Noah asked curiously: "What's the matter, Jijia?"
I said to Noah, "I promised Ramos that I would build a city on its back. In the future, the people in this city will receive the blessing of Ramos. Of course, in return, the city needs to organize a team of guardians to enter the wormholes regularly to clean up the sandstone worms."
Noah looked at me with a confused look on his face and said, "Ah! Are you saying you want me to help you build a city?"
"It's not that you help me, but that you want to build a city here yourself!" I waved my hand and said, "You need to collect all manpower and material resources yourself. I believe that after this ship is transformed, you will definitely not short of people. With these treasures of the pirate kings, at least you can do the basic structure of the city in the early stage without any effort. As for future operations, of course, you have to find a way for yourself."
Noah opened her mouth wide and looked incredible, and asked me, "What about you?"
I said, "The Duke of Samoyed is limited to me to build a town in Trum in the Jero plane for two years. I have no idea yet! Where can I have time to build a city, let alone build a city in the Vasqi plane. Of course, it must be your Mensa family. Especially such an important city, have you ever thought that once this city is built, what kind of existence will it be on the Vasqi plane?"
Noah finally figured it out a little and said, "Is this a city on the Mobile Island?"
I said, "Of course, you can let your city go to any corner of the Vasqi plane, and you can do whatever island you want. You can understand what I mean!"
Noah then slapped his forehead, held my shoulder with both hands, and said to me, "You mean, will I own such a city?"
I said "You are right, Noah!"
Noah couldn't help but scream: "...ah, I can't breathe, let me calm down, this is simply...it's simply...I'm really mentally prepared. I'm still a first-year student at the Royal Academy of Magic. I'm not ready to be a lord or a consul of a city. But you know, Louis must need such a city very much. In any case, I need to do something for Louis, and I will definitely build this city!"
I pushed Noah away: "You go and talk to Ramos about these words, now... don't talk here, it will affect my mental recovery!"
Noah asked me with some trepidation: "Oh, by the way, Giga, how should I communicate with Mr. Ramos?"
"He will look for you, it's very simple!" I said to Noah, and after that, I thought of another thing, grabbed him and said, "Oh! By the way, Noah, I thought of a very cool name for this Golden Sea Ship. In the future, this Golden Sea Ship will be called the "Queen of Revenge"!"
