Katrina slowly stood up in the water, her graceful fish tail swaying unconsciously, showing that the queen was constantly thinking in her mind. She remained in this position without moving for several minutes, and finally she suddenly showed a smile and looked at Hao Ren.
: "I'm glad you're willing to come and discuss this matter with me."
"Uh..." Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, "Isn't that what it should be? After all, it is your planet even though you don't live there."
"So sometimes I'm surprised that a human being can have qualities like you. It's really incredible that strong strength and a strong heart can appear in one person at the same time," Katrina smiled, looking at Hao Ren.
There was a pause on his face for a long time, "Perhaps it is because of this characteristic that you can become an observer and guardian of all worlds?"
"Uh...you mean I don't have to discuss this matter with you?" Hao Ren only then vaguely understood what Katrina meant.
The Siren Queen gently swung her tail and bowed slightly to Hao Ren. This was not a salute, but a sign of affirmation and respect in the Siren culture: "You have the power to travel to and from these planets, and you control all the gates.
and routes, you know the exact coordinates of Io, and you have used your army of drones to occupy all the shipping lanes around that planet. Don’t you realize it yourself? You are already the de facto controller of that planet.
Well, according to ordinary people's perception, you are the governor there. We are just the nominal descendants of that planet. Originally, you didn't have to discuss anything with me. It doesn't matter who you put there. In the end,
You only need to inform us of this established fact, and no one can refute it."
Hao Ren scratched his hair: "If I really do this, you won't be able to laugh."
Katrina nodded seriously: "Yes, I will be very sorry and will be hostile to you. Maybe the sea monsters will try to retaliate? Fight with you? Anyway, the outcome will not be too big.
Influence, because you essentially control everything. So I am... surprised by your current actions."
"Why do I feel that you think of me too badly?" Hao Ren spread his hands in confusion, "What you said is so unreasonable."
"It's not a question of whether it's bad or not. It's just human nature," Katrina smiled. "Although I rarely go ashore, I know that countless emperors have changed and dynasties have risen and fallen on this planet. People's desire for power and control has always been
They are all pure and eternal. There are few people like you who hold great power and can ignore any law, but pursue justice with a single heart."
Hao Ren originally thought that he was quite thick-skinned, but he was embarrassed by the Siren Queen's praise at this time. He thought to himself how could he be so noble? Who didn't have the desire for power and control, who didn't have the selfish mentality and pride?
Emotions, he was secretly happy when he heard the Erim elf call himself the Sun King, but he still had to discuss issues fairly and openly with the Sirens here. This had nothing to do with noble sentiments, but mainly because he was afraid of ravens.
When 145 knew that he had illegally immigrated again, he was furious and a whip leg broke into the void. Hao Ren asked himself that his small body was not big enough for the goddess sister to kick him...
But as long as he knows these reasons, there is no need to expose them here. Maintaining the Siren Queen's high opinion of him is also an important asset. So Hao Ren nodded with a serious expression, trying to pretend to be a saint with a straight face: "Ahem
Cough. If I cannot be impartial, how can I take on this important responsibility? Since as the caretaker of so many civilizations and races, my personal selfish interests have been eliminated a long time ago..."
Vivian coughed twice: "Ahem, let's talk about business, talk about business!"
She was worried that her face would become swollen if she continued to listen.
Katrina had no doubts about Hao Ren's words, because she had personally seen the man's spaceship and ability to cross the world. She firmly believed that Hao Ren pursued justice even though he had everything in hand, so she also said seriously.
He nodded: "We can agree."
Hao Ren subconsciously said the lines he had memorized many times in his mind: "Of course you have concerns, but we can... wait a minute, do you agree?! Just agree like that!?"
Hao Ren originally thought of a lot of reasons for persuasion and was about to throw them out. But he never expected that the Siren Queen would agree so readily. Suddenly, half of the lines got stuck in his throat and almost gave him a heart attack. He stared at it.
To Katrina: "Those Ark people are not sirens, you don't know them..."
"They can't live forever on a planet without land, can they?" Katrina squinted her eyes. "Even if they learn to mine minerals from the deep sea, even if they use technology to tame the ocean, they can't be as comfortable as they are on land.
, because the ocean belongs to the Kraken after all.”
"That's right, their Ark is just resting in Io, and will leave after completing mechanical repairs and material supplies. At the latest, it will be after I find a new planet suitable for their survival." Hao Ren promised, "Here
During this period, they could not go anywhere, and the Ark was the only island they could survive on in Io."
"Anyway, we have to wait many years before we can return to Io," Katrina nodded slightly. "It's not a big deal to let those on the Ark take a rest on our planet."
As she spoke, Katrina sighed: "And after all, our two races have similar fates. We both lost our homes in that natural disaster..."
Hao Ren didn't say anything, but Vivian looked at the queen and said, "And you must have conditions. You are more or less a queen. At this time, you definitely can't agree to the whole thing just because of your kindness."
Katrina laughed: "Of course the transaction must come and go. Those Ark humans who want to rent our place should pay some rent, right?"
"What do you want?" Hao Ren looked at the Siren Queen curiously.
"I want their spaceships," Katrina raised a finger. "Not many, just one is enough, a complete one. I know those ships are their lifeline, but they have a whole fleet, and they piece together extra
One boat should be fine too.”
"Well... this shouldn't be a big problem. Anyway, the people in the Ark don't even have the concept of a spaceship now, and Lawrence should be happy to trade a ship for other people's lifeline. I'm 90% sure, so I can
Promise for him first," Hao Ren touched his chin, "But why do you want the spaceship?"
Katrina did not answer directly, but reached out and took out a small, sapphire-like crystal from her belly and placed it on the table. Hao Ren was stunned when he saw it: "I'll go, where did you get this?"
Did you take out the gadget?"
Katrina was preparing to demonstrate something with a serious look on her face when she was suddenly choked by Hao Ren's words: "Ahem...in your body. Isn't this common sense that you should keep everything you carry with you in your stomach?"
Vivian opened her mouth: "...is this common sense among you sirens, right?"
"That's more or less what it means," Katrina waved her hand, "When we go out and carry luggage, we always stuff it directly into our stomachs. If we can't stuff it in, we make ourselves a little bigger, and it can always fit in, so Siren is very good at traveling.
Although the race spends most of its time traveling under the sea. By the way, aren’t Nangong Wuyue and Elsa living in your house? You still don’t know this?”
Hao Ren thought about it, and finally suddenly remembered that Nangong Wuyue did often stuff things into his stomach, but most of the time he stuffed dishes and clothes to be washed...
These deep water creatures are simply amazing.
Katrina curled her lips and ignored the two "lack of common sense" guys in front of her. Instead, she pressed the gem, and the gem suddenly emitted bursts of blue light. Then, the light trembled in the water, gradually forming a
It looks like a holographic sand table-like structure.
It is the overall schematic diagram of Nasatorn.
"What is this?" Hao Ren stared at the holographic projection device in stunned silence.
"I have been carrying this gem with me since I can remember. I don't know what other functions it has. I only know that if I input magic power, it can emit some images. Put this gem in the machine under the palace.
Many functions of Nasatron can be activated on the console," Katrina explained. "I guess this should be the authority key of the spaceship captain. I, the 'Siren Queen', was originally the chief navigator of Nasatron.
.”
"So this is the structural diagram of your spaceship?"
"Well," Katrina nodded slightly, "I want to fix this ship, at least... figure out how it works."
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "Are you ready to take off again?!"
"No, I haven't dared to think that far," Katrina smiled softly, "Of course, if the conditions of this ship allow it, I do have some interest in space, but at the moment... I just want to understand the lives of the sisters.
What happened to this city that has lasted for thousands of years? We want to try to rebuild something." (.)
