"Mia, the Wind King Eagle has agreed to our transformation of Cloud Island," Muria stood on the Crystal Eagle's Nest and looked at the dragonborn maid behind her with a smile, "You start making preparations. First,
Please roughly estimate the total cost of transforming these cloud islands and then submit it to me."
"Master Muria, are you a bit like this..." Looking at Muria's behavior, Mia looked back and found that the giants who were following them turned their heads and looked away, as if there was something wonderful in other directions.
The scenery attracted them, so they heard nothing and saw nothing about Muria's behavior just now.
"What's there?" Muria showed a gentle smile and reached out to touch his face. The moment his fingertips touched his cheek, the shadow of the mask engraved with mysterious ancient divine inscriptions flashed away.
That is the Holy Emperor's Abyss. In terms of defensive power, few cities in the world of Erathia have walls that are stronger than it. Therefore, Muria's face cannot be blasted away by magic cannons.
"..." Mia was slightly silent, holding back the word "shameless". This is her master. As a personal maid, she cannot be so rude. "Your Highness, if you do this, if the Wind King Eagle wakes up,
,it……"
"Mia," Muria interrupted her maid, "Brother Eagle has already agreed, so after it wakes up, it will only be happy and relieved for the transformed Yundao, and will not be angry. If we transform it
Cloud Island, in the process of turning it into a floating city, makes it a mess, and it will become angry."
"Master, I'm going to estimate the cost first." Mia, who was already choked by Muria's shamelessness and couldn't speak, said that after bowing slightly to Muria, she returned to the palace and summoned the cloud giants.
Let them start the measurement work, calculate the area of Cloud Island, and then make a rough cost estimate based on the floating city transformation method provided by Jin Longniang.
"Wind King Eagle." Muria looked at the sleeping giant beast in front of him for a long time. To say that he was not afraid of this giant beast was completely nonsense. This was an existence that even the Titans did not want to be enemies with.
But the state of the Wind King Eagle in front of him gave Muria the courage to take advantage of the cloud islands it collected. Beings of this level usually sleep in units of hundreds of years, and the time they sleep will only be longer after being injured.
Such a long time is enough.
Because Muria has enough confidence in his own future, or in his own bloodline. After the Wind King Eagle wakes up again, no matter what its attitude is when it sees Yun Dao after being transformed into a floating city, he has enough confidence.
Strength to "pacify" and "enlighten" this giant beast.
…
"Why is it so expensive?" Muria looked at the long and dazzling number on the pile of pricing lists in front of her, because the good mood after breaking through the soul limit suddenly disappeared without a trace, "Mia, are you sure?
Is there no miscalculation?"
"I have calculated it three times, Master Muria." The big-breasted maid stood aside and said calmly. This was a way for her to express her dissatisfaction. She worked hard to lead hundreds of cloud giants to travel all over the world.
The calculated results of the thirty-two cloud islands were actually questioned by Muria.
"Ahem!" Muria coughed dryly, looking at the dragonborn maid who was as angry as a squirrel after her food was taken away, and realized her previous gaffe, "Mia, I'm not questioning your ability.
But I was shocked by the cost of renovation. Such a huge cost, even if I spend the entire Rockman Kingdom, I can’t pay it, and I can’t complete all the renovation plans of Cloud Island.”
"That's true, so it's not feasible to use the resources of the Rockman Kingdom to transform all the Cloud Islands." Mia said the conclusion she came up with, "Master Muria, would you like to reconsider the Cloud Island transformation plan?"
feasibility."
Ta! Ta! Ta... Muria's fingers tapped on the table, lost in thought. The resources required to transform all the cloud islands into floating cities, converted into elemental crystals, are close to 100 million cubic meters. This is a
A number that would scare even the gods.
However, if you think about it carefully, there is nothing unreasonable in this estimated cost. It is true that the method given by Jin Longniang to transform Cloud Island into a floating city saves nearly 40% of the cost compared to directly building a floating city of the same specifications.
, but it is still a very shocking number.
What is the Floating City? It is the ultimate achievement of the legendary mage. The mages who own the floating city have the confidence to cry out to the gods in the material world. They are the highest status among the mages, except for the epics.
Because not all legendary mages can own the most advanced war fortresses and laboratories, and more than 80% of the mages have lost all their money and cannot build a floating city.
For example, the pioneer of the demiplane acquired by Muria, the element controller Heinar, with his strength and financial resources, is considered the best among the legendary mages.
But even with this kind of existence, the process of building the floating city needs to be carried out in a loan-like manner. The longer the construction of the floating city takes, the more debt it will bear.
Therefore, when Hainer died due to an accident, the construction process of the floating city was directly interrupted, and there was no way to continue.
By analogy, the construction of a floating city can basically hollow out a surplus principality, causing its economy to collapse, the country to be in turmoil, and thieves to be everywhere. If it loses the suppression of the legendary strongman, the country can basically be declared subjugated.
The Rockman Kingdom ruled by Muria is far stronger than the principality in all aspects. If it were the kingdom before the demonic disaster, there would be absolutely no problem supporting Muria in transforming the fifteen cloud islands while ensuring economic stability.
of.
As for now, after such a long period of demonic disaster, even with the protection of the ancient dragon, the Rockman Kingdom is still seriously damaged. With the current economic strength of the kingdom, it is difficult to support Muria's transformation of the five cloud islands. What's more,
Not to mention one hundred and thirty-two, Muria could not squeeze out that many resources even if it drained the Rockman Kingdom dry.
Of course, if Muria is willing to wait for up to fifty years, with human reproduction capabilities, after two to three generations of reproduction, the kingdom can definitely return to its former glory, and it will be even better than before.
Because there are the corpses of the Medes Kingdom in the Underdark region to nourish the Lockman Kingdom. When the drow kingdom was destroyed, it was during the period of the Demonic Disaster, and it was unable to digest the results of the war. Now that the Demonic Disaster is over, it can naturally begin to take over the Underdark Region.
Even though the best part of the Kingdom of Medis has been carved up by the Golden Dragon Lady and those ancient dragons, the largest amount of leftover residue is still enough to make the Kingdom of Rockman’s mouth water.
"Fifty years is too long!" Muria frowned slightly. His original plan was to stay in the Rockman Kingdom for about ten to twenty years. Fifty years is too long and has exceeded his expectations. Moreover,
Even if economic development recovers and the former kingdom is still unable to support this huge project.
"I don't have so much time to spend on this subcontinent. Since it can't be completely transformed, let's just transform a part of it and do my best. Bella Dean gave the kingdom to me, and I can't waste it."
"Master Muria, what is part of the transformation?"
