Hearing the Fairy Empress's question, I shook my head: "It's not that I'm reluctant, but my authority is not enough, if you think it's necessary, you can personally communicate with Master Dewey and them." ”

With that, I pulled out the call crystal and dialed Master Dewey's call.

Ten seconds later, the call was connected, and I told Master Dewey about the situation, and Master Dewey said that he would discuss the matter with the Fairy Empress in person.

Handing the call crystal to the Fairy Empress, I stood to the side, observing the Empress's grandmother's expression from a distance.

I thought that if I waited on one side and observed quietly, I could see some clues from the subtle changes in the empress grandmother's expression.

However, I overlooked one thing.

What kind of person is the empress's grandmother, she is an old fox who is not dead, and her expression has changed to the point where she can do whatever she wants, even if I try to snoop, I can't find out the slightest truth.

Placing the call crystal in her ear, the fairy queen looked indifferent, and answered from time to time, unable to tell whether it was a happy event or anger.

After seven or eight minutes, the fairy queen hung up the call crystal and exchanged it with me, and her face was still lukewarm, and I was depressed.

I cautiously asked, "Grandma Empress, what is the matter...... How's the discussion going? ”

The Fairy Empress said lightly: "To be determined." ”

"Huh?" I was confused.

Undetermined?

Other words...... Haven't settled things up yet?

I was so embarrassed that I didn't know what to ask.

The Fairy Empress's voice sounded again: "You don't have to mind too much, it's not that things haven't been discussed, it's just that you have to give each other a little time to get used to, after all, this involves part of the ancient literature." ”

When I heard this, I knew it instantly.

Ancient texts have always been regarded as the treasure of Castle Vechi, and Moonlight City has repeatedly asked for it and tempted it to return it, but it has not been able to do so.

This time it happened that there was a stone henge on the island, and it was related to ancient writing, and it was also in the territory of Moonlight City, so the fairy queen naturally would not let go of this opportunity.

Since I can't get the whole book, then I'll swallow them one by one.

Through this island negotiation, I will first get the details of an ancient script, and then I will get another one next time, anyway, the ancient characters in your hands are limited, but the places where you need help are infinite.

Hey, the empress's grandmother's mind is really unusual, and she has the courage to move mountains.

At night, there is a breeze.

I sat in the yard and nibbled on popsicles, the coldness of my mouth in contact with the slightly hot breeze, and there was a feeling of excitement for no reason.

When he was about to be in a daze, he felt a noise in his pocket, and took out the call crystal and saw that it was Master Dewey.

I connected to the crystal and said in a pretentious manner: "Hello, I'm An Xiaoyi, who are you?" ”

"I'm your father" on the other end of the phone, Master Dewey also smiled and cooperated with me.

"Hey" I also laughed and said, "Your old man came over on the phone at night, is there anything urgent to find me?" ”

"It's not a hurry," Master Dewey said, "I just want you to help tell the Fairy Empress, and I agreed to her request." ”

"Huh? Promised? I was a little surprised: "Did you really say yes?" That's something about ancient texts! ”

"Your kid's expression must be very obscene now," Master Dewey laughed, "I can guess it." ”

"Huh? Have it? Nope! I hurriedly rubbed my lewd smiling face, relaxed my stiff muscles and laughed, and at the same time secretly said in my heart: "The fox is still an old traitor, and I actually guessed my current state correctly in one sentence." ”

"Hmph, don't pretend to be garlic with me, although I recognize it, but your Lao Tzu is still your Lao Tzu, you have some dirty ideas, I don't have to guess to say it!"

Master Dewey on the other end of the phone crystal spoke in a confident tone.

Huh?

I secretly thought to myself, I don't think anyone is watching me nearby, and then while monitoring, I will report all my current body language to Master Dewey.

Just as he was looking around, Master Dewey's voice sounded in the call crystal again, and he said, "You kid must be guessing there now, is there someone I arranged nearby, and report to me while monitoring you, right?" ”

I was startled and exclaimed, "Hey, you can't be a half-immortal, right?" ”

"Do you think I look like me?" Master Dewey asked.

I groaned for a few seconds and said, "It doesn't look like it, but it sounds like it." ”

"Okay, I won't mess with you," Master Dewey said, "Remember to inform the fairy queen of this news when you have time." ”

"Huh?" I frowned and said, "The Fairy Empress also has a call crystal, why don't you just call her?" ”

"I call this the art of checks and balances," Master Dewey said, "She wants to rely on territorial ownership to take away all the information of an ancient script, and I will put you on the table and become a tool to check and balance her." ”

Checks and balances?

I looked confused and muttered, "This ...... Why don't I understand what that means? ”

"It's okay if you don't understand," Master Dewey said, "If you don't understand, I'll tell you a little bit and you'll understand." ”

He cleared his throat, coughed, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Fairy Empress made it possible to share the details of the ancient script while agreeing to the goblins to be stationed on the island. ”

"Yes," I said.

Master Dewey said, "Presumably, that condition was specifically proposed to you, am I right?" ”

"Eh," I was surprised, "How do you know?" ”

"That's because, the Fairy Empress, you and I, no, I should say that your relationship with the highest authority in Castle Vicky is close enough to grasp the direction of the great ship of Castle Vicky," Master Dewey explained, "That's why she chooses to talk to you directly, not with me, or with my two brothers." ”

"Perhaps," I said, "but I refused." ”

"Yes, it was because of your refusal that she came to me," said Master Dewey, "and it was because of your refusal that I had to exchange all the details of an ancient text for all the rights to use the island." ”

"Huh?" I wondered, "Could it be that I am to blame for using ancient words as bargaining chips?" ”

"That's right," said Master Dewey, "you are indeed to blame for this, because you cherish your wings too much and are unwilling to take on the responsibility." ”

"Hey, please, this is a confidential matter about Vicky Castle, how can I just agree to it!"

"Because you are my Dewey's son, because you will inherit all my Dewey's assets in the future, because you will revitalize Vechiburg in the future and build it into an unsinkable ship, you must learn a skill!" Master Dewey took a breath, his tone was extremely serious, and said, "Bad debt!" ”

"Huh?" I was shocked, and I looked confused.

"It's not ha, it's a debt!" Master Dewey said seriously.
