Chapter 219: Dongguan Island
The lich turned to look, far away, a massive flying ship was emerging from the landing area, slowly but steadily rising upwards - it looked a lot like the airship he was searching for in the Otherworldly Soul, and there was a certain resemblance in essence - A streamlined hull similar in size to that of an adult blue whale, used to stabilize the aft surface of the hull, four sets of intricate propulsion units, rudder discs, and most importantly, a pod that is similar in structure to a giant three-masted ship, the deck and parapets are made of taupe walnut wood with the smell of tobacco, and the cabin is covered with mahogany. Tulip wood and purple heart wood, the exterior of the cabin is covered with gold leaf, inlaid with sea pearls, and the coat of arms and words of the Eastern Crown are painted with Mithril on the cloud-white hull, which shines in the deep purple-blue twilight.
Its energy is safer and longer than the dangerous gases used in another plane, and the rune disk, which combines magic and mechanics, can keep an airship flying for more than 10,000 miles, and it can be replaced—as easily as changing a cellphone battery, says the Soul of the Otherworld.
The former undead had to rejoice that the old lord simply couldn't wait to see them, and it wasn't the idiot who was on duty today, otherwise it would have been difficult for him to convince anyone else that Beavis hadn't gone mad because of the loss of his wife—otherwise why would he charge such a ...... There is no cure for the disciples.
- I can't blame it, the souls of the other world look at everything outside with relish on the edge of the sea - the dwarf's artifacts remind him irrepressibly of his world, the fragments that float in his memory - they even have electric lights!
- That's not an electric light, the lich said, have you forgotten that there is a primary spell that makes something glow?
- Maybe not, the otherworldly soul said, but it was clearly not a spell either.
The bodies they used were very good. Even if you need to look through the lich, the souls of the other world can see the mystery - although it does look like a fishing line chandelier suspended from a deep black stand, it is not the electricity that makes it glow, but the whale wax, the gilt bowl containing the whale wax is full of whale wax, a thin wick sticking out of the liquid surface, and above them is a device that looks like a lighter is in fact a lighter. The thread that controls it hangs from the center of the dendritic stand to the ground, and the crystal pendant at the end hangs about seven feet above the ground, and as the sea breeze gently swayes, the sun shines through them, sprinkling the alabaster ground with specks of various sizes like gemstones.
They stretched from the platform where the airship docked to the vast hall supported by hundreds of giant pillars that two people hugged, and the alabaster path became colorful. When ignited, myrrh-infused cetawax emits a rich and peculiar aroma, which is dispersed by the salty sea breeze, leaving only a shadow that flickers like a bird in a dense forest. On both sides of the road leading to the Pillared Hall, in addition to the brackets of the chandeliers hanging from the fishing line, are beautiful female slaves. They were between fifteen and twenty years old, and it was a juicy good time, with no clothes or shoes, and their white skin made them almost one with the ground—they were meekly prostrate, using their bodies to lay a long, hot and soft blanket.
Kerry was the first to stop, and it was the first time that the Elven Ranger had gone so deep into the Dragonfire Islands, and he had only heard of this, but no matter what. An elf would not walk on the backs of humans or other intelligent beings.
"It's just a father's love for his son—love for the house and the house," said the eunuch who came to meet them, "and he commanded me to receive you with the highest courtesy." He glanced vaguely at the crowd, "Don't worry, these birds are not as fragile as you think, they are strong enough to bear your weight...... Come, distinguished guests, your feet should not be stained with sand and dust here. ”
"Follow his advice. The ninth son of the lord said: "Excess mercy is not a good thing for these little birds—this is their value, and if you do not want to walk on their backs, perhaps the next moment they will be crushed into a huge stone mortar for food." ”
The Lich's fingers hidden in his sleeve moved slightly, and the fluctuations of the magic caught the attention of the hooknose mage, who was about to say something. The former undead smiled at him, and the beast hidden in his black eyes immediately made the former wisely close his mouth, while Kerryben and the others only felt as if their bodies were gently lifted and lowered by an invisible hand, and the black-haired young spellcaster took the lead on this beautiful and frightening long carpet, with Berdwin walking on his left and the elf on the right, and every step he took was close to his knees, which made the elf feel a little better, although he knew that Cremar's spell had worked, and the weight of a hundred pounds could not even deform the soft skin a little, but this behavior still made him want to gag, and Mei Mi and Leona followedGlenn was at the rear, and he believed that the lord's mage and the ninth son had noticed their differences, but so what? they had apparently asked Cremar for something.
The pillar hall of the Eastern Crown Lord was as empty and bright as a dragon's cave, and in addition to countless cetacean lamps, there were also precious fluorite inlaid on each alabaster pillar, and the surface of the stone pillar was full of relief statues of graceful young girls and girls, who stretched out their arms from the pillars, holding fragrant flowers and fresh berries, about a tenth of which were golems for defense and attack, and the lich counted them silently when he stepped into the hall, but could not accurately indicate their location. In addition to this, the floor of the Pillars is inlaid with precious Mithril threads, precious stones and leather. The dome covered with purple heart sucara wood is hung with sea pearls that exude a soft luster, interspersed with fluorite of different sizes, some places are very dense and some places are only a few sporadic ones, Gülen raised his head and looked at it for a while before he found that it was simply an artificial miniature galaxy, the thief smacked his lips in his heart, this is really an extravagant and arrogant move, ordinary stars cannot be condensed into a galaxy, only the magic galaxy can cross the entire sky like a river of light, because the magic galaxy can only be seen by the caster, it has become a forbidden place for almost all spellcasters- If one sees the utensils and clothes adorned with the magic galaxy outside, the first thing one thinks is that it belongs to the caster - not unlearned or self-righteous fools who did it, but they all died.
The thief glanced at the mage with a large nose, who seemed completely indifferent.
The lich was the first to notice the strange decorations on the ground and dome just to hide the fact that they were large rune disks. It effectively suppresses forces that do not belong here.
In the Pillar Hall, the gender of the slaves changed from pure female to half and half, but it is difficult to say whether that half should be discounted, because the half were castrated teenagers with lizardskin collars around their necks, and a thin black iron chain dangling from the middle of the collar. Attached to the chains around their waists, the chains and collars are so delicately crafted that they do not look like shackles, but rather as individual ornaments. From here, to the relief of Cremar's party, what they stepped on was finally replaced by jade, with countless fine lines, and under the jade were buried hollow copper pipes, which warmed the air above the ground and above when the hot spring flowed into them, and chilled them when they entered the sea.
The lord's mage and the ninth son stopped at the edge of the Pillar Hall. Entering the next place without the lord's permission is considered a rebellion and killed on the spot, even the lord's son.
&&&
The ninth son of the lord of the Eastern Crown walked from the outer corridor of the Pillar Hall to his residence, his father and master were born in this month, and he and his brothers had only a few days to enter the island of the Eastern Crown, and enter the heavily guarded fortress, where they would hold several or more banquets of magnificence worthy of the celebrations of the gods, and present their gifts to the sole lord and ruler of the Eastern Crown. Although they were no longer so convinced and fearful of this man, it was an indisputable fact that the lord of the Eastern Crown had a power that none of them could match. What they are worried about now is whether he will give him extra strength because he favors a certain child, causing them to lose their existing balance. Of course, he knew that the gift could be malicious. It's just to provoke a fight between them, but so what? no one will leave the barbecue right in front of them without opening their mouths, and if you don't want it, others will want it, and this little tilt may eventually lead to their own death, and no one wants to end up like this. Nobody wants to.
When the lord's ninth son entered his residence, everything was already in order, Dada was indeed a capable brother, in fact, he should not have come with him this time. Because his punishment would not heal overnight, and the smell and sluggish action from his body would prevent him from serving his master properly, but it was Dada who appeared in front of the ninth son, and it is said that the slave who was supposed to follow his master to the crown was hanged by Dada.
Slaves are not allowed to fight each other, after all, they are all the property of their masters, but Dada's status is indeed somewhat special, and as far as the ninth son knows, the slave would be stupid enough to believe that Dada will give him some help - he walked to Dada's side by himself, otherwise Dada would not have strangled him alive with his wrap - as the master, the ninth son should probably be grateful to Dada, his former brother, such a stupid fellow should have been sent to be made into food a long time ago.
What intrigued the Ninth Son even more was where Dada had gotten the ointment, which of course was not comparable to the healing potion, but it also allowed Dada to stand up in the shortest possible time--didn't he think that doing so would expose some of his remaining wrists to his master? No, Dada should have thought about it, but he did it anyway, and the Ninth knew why he did it- For a slave, a slave who served their master and father, a girl, in the outside sense, a father's daughter, their sister, but in the Dragonfire Islands, she could only be a slave.
She had the same mother as the ninth son, and Dada, and perhaps the woman told her that she had two brothers, and surprisingly, she managed to find them, Dada was the fourteenth in the rankings at the time, and now the ninth son is fifteenth, and their sister has a beauty that other slaves could not match, even though she was very young at the time, but she was able to come in handy, and with her help, Dada killed three brothers along the way, and climbed to tenth place. It should be noted here that it was then that he discovered that Dada was a cowardly fellow, that he had fallen in love with their sister, that he would no longer allow her to join in the dangerous schemes and intrigues, and even managed to send her to their father and master - a reckless act that almost wiped out their previous efforts, and it was then that he found Dada's fatal weakness.
Dada has fallen to this point entirely because of this woman, and the funny thing is that he has not learned the lesson, although he can no longer be called a man, he still looks forward to meeting her, like a maggot living in the dark yearning for the sun.
But Dada's actions did arouse the alarm of the ninth son, and he had already decided that Dada would become a "food" or a "utensil" in the grand event, and that he would be taken his life and would never be anyone's brother or lover again.
So he brought Dada here anyway, he wanted to kill Dada in front of their "sister", he longed to see her frightened and sad face, then despair, and then pain, and then maybe numbness and calm, which is what a slave should look like, they should not have thoughts, they should not have hope.
For this he even indulged Dada, allowing them to meet and talk, and he would set this game up to perfection.

Beavis's father, the owner and ruler of the Dragonfire Islands and the Eastern Crown Island, is no longer quite the one Beavis remembers.
He was old, visibly old, the corners of his eyes and mouth were covered with small snake-like wrinkles, his body had become bloated, perhaps because of the crooked spine, his height was lower than before, but his body was more than twice as wide as before, but for a pampered ruler, this change could only be described as normal.
Perhaps because of the relationship between Beavis's disciples, there was no one else around him except soldiers and mages, and the room he chose was not the largest and most luxurious, on the contrary, this room could even be regarded as peaceful and elegant, which was extremely in line with the appearance of warmth and affection that he wanted to express. (To be continued.) )
