Chapter 969: Caterina's Thoughts
Katrina slowly rose from the water, her graceful fishtail swaying unconsciously, showing that the queen was constantly thinking in her heart. She held this position for several minutes without moving, and finally she suddenly looked at Hao Ren with a smile: "I'm glad that you are willing to come and discuss this matter with me." β
"Uh......" Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, "isn't this how it should be, it's your planet after allβalthough you don't live there." β
"So I'm sometimes surprised that a human can have the same quality as you, it's really incredible that a human being can have the same qualities as you, a powerful power and a strong heart can appear in a person at the same time," Caterina smiled, her gaze lingering on Hao Ren's face for a long time, "Maybe it's because of this quality that you can become an observer and guardian of the worlds?" β
"Uh...... You're saying I don't have to talk to you about it? Hao Ren only vaguely understood what Catalina meant.
The Siren Queen swung her tail lightly and bent slightly to Hao Ren, which 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, you control all the gates and routes, you know Io's exact coordinates, and you have used your drone army to occupy all the shipping lanes around that planet." Don't you realize it? You are already the de facto controller of that planet, and according to ordinary people's perception, you are the governor there. We're just the nominal descendants of that planet, and you don't have to discuss anything with me in the first place - it doesn't matter who you put there, in the end you just need to tell us about the established facts, and no one can refute anything. β
Hao Ren grabbed his hair: "If I really do this, you will definitely not be able to laugh." β
Katerina nodded earnestly, "Yes." I will regret and be hostile to you. Maybe the Krakens will try to get their revenge? Fight with you? Anyway, the ending won't have much of an impact. Because you essentially control everything. So what I'm doing to you now...... It's amazing. β
"Why do I think you're thinking too badly," Hao Ren spread his hands with a smile and a smile, "What a non-authentic thing you said." β
"It's not a question of whether it's bad or not, it's just human nature," Catriana smiled, "Although I rarely go ashore, I know that there are countless emperors and dynasties on this planet, and people's desire for power and control has always been pure and unchanging. There are few people in power like you. He could have ignored any law and pursued justice with one side of the eye. β
Hao Ren originally felt that he was quite thick-skinned, but at this time he was still embarrassed to be praised by the Kraken Queen, he said in his heart that he was so noble, who does not have a desire for power and control, who does not have a self-interest mentality and pride, he also secretly refreshed when he heard the Elim elf call himself the Sun King - but he still has to discuss issues with the Krakens in a fair and open manner here, which has little to do with noble sentiments, Mainly because he was afraid that Raven 12345 would know that he had violated the rules and immigrated again, and in a fit of rage, a whip leg shattered and came out of the void. Hao Ren asked himself if this small body was not enough for the goddess sister to kick it......
But he knows these reasons himself, there is no need to poke them here, and maintaining the Kraken Queen's high opinion of himself is also an important asset. So Hao Ren still nodded with a blank expression, trying to pretend that he was a saint with a straight face: "Ahem." If I can't do justice, how can I take on this great responsibility, since as the caretaker of so many civilizations and races, my personal self-interest has long been wiped out......"
Vivien coughed vigorously twice, "Ahem." Get down to business, get down to business! β
She was worried that her face would be swollen if she listened to it again.
Caterina had no doubts about Hao Ren's words. Because she had seen the man's spaceship and the ability to cross the world with her own eyes, she firmly believed that Hao Ren pursued justice even when he had everything. So she nodded solemnly as well: "We can agree." β
Hao Ren subconsciously said the lines that he had memorized many times in his mind: "Of course you have concerns, it's certain, but we can ...... Wait, do you agree?! That's it!? β
Hao Ren originally thought of a lot of reasons for persuasion and was ready to throw them out, but he never expected the Siren Queen to agree so happily, and suddenly half of the line was stuck in his throat and almost didn't hold back his heart attack. He glared at Caterina, "Those Arkmen aren't Krakens, you don't know ...... them"
"They can't survive forever on a planet without land, can they?" Caterina squinted, "Even if they learn to mine from the deep sea, even if they use technology to tame the ocean, they won't be as comfortable as they are on land, because the sea belongs to the Kraken after all." β
"That's right, their ark is only resting in Io, and will leave when the mechanical repairs and supplies are complete. At the latest, when I find a new planet for them to live on," Hao Ren promised, "they won't be able to go anywhere in the meantime - the Ark is the only island they can live on in Io." β
"We'll have to wait many years before we can return to Io anyway," Caterina nodded slightly, "It's not a big deal to let those on the Ark rest on our planet." β
As she spoke, Catriana sighed with emotion: "And after all, our two races have similar fates, and we both lost our homes in that natural disaster......
Hao Ren didn't say anything, but Vivian looked at the queen and said: "Then you must have the conditions, you are more or less a queen, and at this time, you must not agree to the whole thing because of kindness." β
Catrina laughed, "Of course - there will be a deal going back and forth, and those Ark humans must pay some rent if they want to rent our place, right?" β
"What do you want?" Hao Ren looked at the Siren Queen curiously.
"I want their ship," Catrina cocked a finger, "not much, just one, one complete." I know those ships are their lifeline, but they have a whole fleet, and it shouldn't be a problem to piece together an extra one. β
"Uh...... 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 exchange a ship for someone else's lifeline, I'm ninety percent sure, so I can agree for him first," Hao Ren touched his chin, "But what do you want spaceships for?" β
Catriana didn't answer directly, but reached out and took out a small, sapphire-like crystal from her stomach and put it on the table, Hao Ren was stunned when he saw it: "I'll go, where did you take this thing from?" β
Katrina was about to demonstrate something with a serious face, and was suddenly choked by Hao Ren's words: "Ahem...... Physically. Isn't it common sense to keep your belongings in your stomach? β
Vivien opened her mouth, "...... It's your Kraken's common sense, right? β
"That's pretty much it," said Caterina, waving her hand, "we all stuff our luggage directly into our stomachs, and if we can't stuff it, we make ourselves bigger and always stuff it, so the Krakens are a very good race to travel - although most of the time they travel under the sea." Anyway, don't Nangong May and Elsa live in your house? You guys don't know this yet? β
Hao Ren thought about it, and it turned out that Nangong May did often stuff things into his stomach - but most of the time he stuffed dishes and clothes ready to be washed......
These deep-water creatures are simply amazing.
Katrina pursed her lips and ignored the two "lack of common sense" guys in front of her, but pressed the gem, and the gem suddenly emitted bursts of blue light, and then, the light trembled in the water, gradually forming a holographic sand table-like structure.
It is the overall schematic diagram of Nasaton.
"What is this?" Hao Ren looked at the holographic projection device dumbfounded.
"I've been carrying this gem for as long as I can remember, I don't know what it does, except that it can emit some images when you input mana, and putting it on the mechanical console under the palace can activate many of Nasattoon's functions," explained Katrina, "I guess this is the ship's captain's permission key - I, the 'Siren Queen', was originally Nasaton's chief navigator." β
"So this is the structure of your ship?"
"Well," Catriana nodded slightly, "I want to fix the ship, at least...... Figure out how it works. β
Hao Ren and Vivian said in unison: "Are you ready to take off again?!" β
"No, I haven't dared to think that far yet," Caterina smiled lightly, "Of course I do have some interest in space if the conditions of this ship allow, but for now...... I just want to find out what happened to the city where the sisters have lived for 10,000 years. We wanted to try to rebuild something. (To be continued.) )
