Do you believe me when I say I’m not a dragon?

They stared at the spaceship under Mercer, showing vigilance and evil eyes.

In the grass at their feet, several bobcats crawled out. Behind them, a pair of eyes lit up in the darkness, and one bobcat squatted in the grass.

They also sniffed, looked at the spaceship under Mercer, and took a few steps back.

In the sight of the flying dragon and lynx, Mercer stretched out his claws and cut the chains on the spaceship.

A door opened, and a black Direwolf climbed out. It stood on the ship's deck and looked at the two creatures with a hungry expression.

Then, behind it, more and more Dire Wolf Dragons came out and stood together with Lika.

Feeling their breath, the flying dragons in the sky became more and more restless, but not because of fear, but because they were provoked and angry.

Flying dragons are very powerful. Although Mercer has only used them as hunting tools, in terms of strength, Mercer's group of terrible wolf dragons are no match at all.

Compared with this group of flying dragons, the Dire Wolf Dragon is smaller in size, and its individual strength is not much stronger, but they have one advantage - they have bad brains.Before being beaten up, they are basically not afraid of any creature, even when facing a group of flying dragons.

The predatory appetite in the eyes of the Dire Wolf Dragon made the flying dragons feel insulted, and they roared in mid-air.

But then, the tense momentum was shattered by Mercer's roar.

"Roar!"

Mercer let out a warning roar. He stared closely at the Dire Wolf Dragon and the Flying Dragon, and simultaneously sent a message to the three groups present.

——You are all my subordinates, and I will not allow you to fight each other.

After saying this information, the two warring races calmed down a little. Mercer asked the flying dragons to leave, and then brought the Dire Wolf Dragon to the front of the lynx.

He gave the order to the lynxes in front of Lika:

——The combat power you want has arrived, and it will help you solve your troubles. Your next request is to expand the fields. Are there any other problems?

"Meow......"

A lynx cautiously glanced at the Dire Wolf Dragon behind Mercer and asked: "Boss, the expansion you are talking about...approximately how wide is it?"

"Ten times." The next moment, Mercer said these words so calmly that the Bobcats almost dropped their jaws. Then, he changed his words: "No... fifteen times."

"Meow?!" The bobcat jumped up and screamed, and replied in disbelief: "Are you kidding me, meow? We can't control this kind of land, meow!"

"Don't worry, I'm not asking you to reclaim so much land at once. I just need to be prepared. I will bring some manpower to you soon."

Under Mercer's words, the lynx breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "That's about it... right?"

Ignoring the lynxes who were troubled by the new indicators, Mercer turned around and told Lika the relevant matters, which was probably to eat all the creatures that dared to approach the lynxes' fields and reproduce them as much as possible.

The expanded territory will inevitably destroy the local ecosystem and cause biological counterattacks, but Mercer is well prepared for this.

After arranging things here, Mercer flew away and returned to the ice-veined snowfield to deal with things here.

When he returned to the edge of the volcano, all the people in charge required by Mercer gathered here, waiting for his arrival.

"Sir God."

After feeling Mercer's arrival, Rachel sat up and replied: "The people you requested have arrived."

"Ah."

Mercer fell from the sky and came into the magma. He was connected to the surrounding black mist and sensed the people in the room.

"——These are the people brought back by God from other places. They will assist you in various tasks. You must accept them."

Listening to the voice in her head, Rachel relayed.

Before anyone else could speak, the orc village chief showed an anxious look:

"Wait a minute! I have something to say!"

Rachel turned to face him, silently.

"These people are obviously outsiders, why should we receive them?" he asked in a fierce tone.

"...This is..." Rachel was silent for a while, not hearing the voice in her head, so she wanted to answer proactively, but then a completely different feeling appeared in her mind.

——An indescribable smell came from the other party. Although it could not be described in words, Rachel could feel the anxiety, uneasiness and other emotions coming from the other party.

If just now, Rachel would have followed his words and given an explanation, but now, through the aura coming from the other person's body, Rachel could vaguely understand what the other person was thinking.

"——Is this really the question you want to ask?" Rachel asked after pondering for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"First the mountain monsters, the forged people, and then the humans. The gods understand what you are thinking. Are you afraid that because the number of people living here increases, you will lose contact with the gods?"

Rachel, Gulu, and many lynxes knew very well that as long as the orc villagers were away, Mercer would not hide his ridicule towards them. Rachel could clearly feel Mercer's attitude towards ignorant people and told them His words were all deception, so he made no secret of his intention to cancel this custom.

Regardless of whether it is against the law for him to say such words as a nominal god, at least Rachel has learned a lot. She will understand whether what words she says next will violate Mercer, and whether it is Mercer. future plans.

So she said directly: "I can tell you clearly that the orcs are always the most important believers of God, and He will not forget everything you have done."

After hearing these words, the orc village chief's attitude obviously changed and he started to smile happily.

Seeing that the orc village chief stopped talking and Gulu on the side did not want to show off, Hami thought for a while and finally said: "But this way, we still have a major hidden danger -"

Chapter 2: City

"Please say."

Rachel looked at Hammy and nodded to him.

"The houses in the Ice Vein Snowfield are simply not allowed to accommodate so many people." Hami stood up, with a somewhat hesitant look on his face: "If this problem is not solved, don't say that they are assisting us in our work. Basically, we are working for them. "

"That's why I asked you to bring it."

Listening to the voice in her head, Rachel asked them to come over, then took out a map and spread it on the table.

"We need to build a house for them to live and work. Everyone, my recommendation is to expand the original territory, that is to say..." Rachel raised her head and looked at the three of them. , "Everyone, do you have any recommendations?"

As soon as the words fell, the three people frowned.

The first thing to understand is that the ice and snow fields are not safe. The territories built by people have been carefully selected to confirm that there are no ferocious beasts around. In other words, if you want to give those people The most labor-saving method is to expand the residences of humans, orcs, and forged people.

But the question is, who is willing to take this job?

The orcs... Even though Rachel had fooled him just now, she still had some xenophobia and randomly arranged for humans to come into contact with them, wondering if it would cause any accidents.

As for the forging people, they live in caves, and the temperature outside the cave is different. And in such an environment, the people living there can only mine, and it will be very troublesome to do other work.

At the moment, it seems that the most suitable solution is to live with the scholars.

But at this moment, Hami stood up and said:

"Master Priest, may I speak?"

"can."

"I have a suggestion. How about creating a zone connecting human and orc villages?"

As he spoke, he drew a circle with his finger around the villages of scholars and the orcs, wrapping them up.

Facing Hami's words, Rachel frowned, and the others also looked confused.

And Hami continued: "Because in this way, the transportation of materials will be very convenient. We only need to build a sufficiently open street in the center of the two rows of houses. I can also let the guards in the village work on uneven terrain - - Even if we have to accommodate so many people on the spacecraft, this area is too wide, but I think this is a very reasonable consumption in the long run. For example, the storage of supplies... and the follow-up Resource building.”

Hami didn't understand Mercer's plan, but judging from his actions, he could understand that this black dragon would not be limited to this small ice-veined snowfield. Since he could bring nearly a thousand people in a short period of time, , more people will definitely come here in the future.

So what he said was not only a proposal to Rachel, but also a letter of recommendation for himself. He would try his best to express himself, eager to get more from Mercer.

Mercer, who sensed his emotions, would naturally not ignore everything he was thinking.

Mercer groped his chin in the lava and had an idea in his mind.

Hami wanted rights, and Mercer would certainly not stop him. As soon as he thought about it, Rachel immediately said:

"...Mr. Hami, the ideas you mentioned are indeed worth a try." Before Hami could show her joy, she said in passing: "--However, Lord God has other ideas. "

"..." Hami was stunned and subconsciously asked: "What is it?"

Before Rachel could speak, another deep voice suddenly sounded in their heads:

"Let me speak."

"Who!"

Hearing the voice in their heads, the three of them were immediately startled. Hami even felt an electric current flowing from the bottom of his tail spine through his back, and the hairs on his arms stood up.

But the voice ignored their reactions and continued:

"No matter how just and noble the reason is for informing the floating island, our behavior is still brutal. It is a fact to kidnap scholars and forcefully imprison them here."

Hearing the words of the voice, the orc village chief understood and suddenly became excited. He opened his hands and showed enthusiasm: "God! It's an oracle! I can hear it!"

However, except for him, everyone else was listening carefully to Mercer's words, and no one paid any attention to him.

"So, we must be prepared for the worst—that is, a war with the Floating Island!"

Hearing these words, Gulu suddenly became nervous, and Hami had an uneasy look in his eyes.

"I have destroyed countless spaceships, but I also have the experience of being defeated by the artillery of the floating island, so I need the power to win in the war, not just mine, but also yours."

"I plan to use the spaceships and beasts, but before that, there is one thing I must have."

Mercer paused and his eyes became serious: "It's something that can end the war."

"..." Hami swallowed and asked cautiously: "Excuse me, what is it?"

"resource."

Mercer is very clear about his goal. At least until he gets a cure for his "Ley Vein Radiation Syndrome", he must maintain a peaceful relationship with the Floating Island. Even if it is all just false love, both parties will It was just a joke, and Mercer wanted to maintain this relationship until the last moment.

Throughout history, all wars are caused by resources: population, land, money, beliefs...

But on the other hand, the only thing that can end the war is resources.

"Only resources can turn enemies into friends and maintain our false peace, so we need more efficient ways to obtain resources until the floating island makes friends with us."

"——But similarly, resources alone are not enough. We also need something to protect the resources."

Mercer paused, and then asked Hami in a profound tone:

"You said, if I arrange a fleet of fully armed spaceships above the ice and snow fields, build a factory for manufacturing weapons on the ground, and welcome outsiders with friendly etiquette, then what will happen to the floating island's attitude towards us? What will happen?”

"...Are you going to..." Hami opened his eyes wide and racked his brains to think about the scene that Mercer was thinking about. The more he thought about it, the more familiar it became, but he could never catch the light.

Until Mercer's tone became passionate:

"I want to build a city in this ice-veined snowfield. It will be richer, more tolerant, and safer than the floating island. It will be enough to attract people to join us."

After finishing speaking, Mercer's voice became low again: "——Hami, I've given you this task, can you do it?"

Hami wants power, so Mercer will give him this opportunity, but whether he can grasp it depends on his own ability.

Chapter 2: Red Phoenix’s dissatisfaction

Build a city?it's here?

After hearing these words, Hami felt as if he was struck by lightning, and his hands began to tremble.

It's not excitement, it's fear.

What virtue and ability do you have?Do you have such qualifications?

He was born, studied, and grew up on the floating island, and he understood how noble and inviolable every building on the floating island was.Looking at those high-rise buildings, Hami thought about a lot, and he also longed to stand on the peak and look down at everyone, but he never had an idea similar to his current task.

Build a city on the ground similar to the floating island... No, the city on the floating island is just an imitation of the one before the [Catastrophe]. Hami knows that his mission is not that, but on this land. Rebuild the homes that humans have abandoned.

Hami clenched his fists and took a deep breath. His brain was still confused, but he didn't care. Instead, he raised his head and showed a fanatical look:

"——I will definitely do it!"

Seeing the emotions bursting out of his heart, Mercer showed a satisfied expression.

"Very good. If you need anything in the future, you can mention it to the other person in charge. The rest of you must also cooperate with his tasks. In addition, don't forget to report the situation regularly."

Mercer's voice rang in everyone's minds, and after they responded, Mercer also asked them to return to their work.

——Hammy did not go far. After receiving the mission from Mercer, he immediately took action. After spending some time communicating with the crew on the spaceship, he roughly understood the current situation and decided to fly these spaceships low. To a human village.

Although it has been decided to build a city here, this is a long-term project after all, and everything has to be done step by step. At least for now, those humans still have to be settled.

Mercer didn't delve too much into his plans.Whether it's living on a boat or crowded with scholars, as long as it achieves its purpose.
