"Little girl!" the man shouted, tears welling up in his eyes, and he picked up the woman with a bear hug. "When you and others go missing, we're worried. The world goes crazy and we find out that our town has moved to this island. We fear the worst. ”

"I miss your dad!" she replied, sobbing.

"What's going on, what's going on?" asked the big man with concern. "What's that hairless? The old ones look a bit like the ones we have here. ”

"Do you have any humans in Kirston?" Zach couldn't help but ask, much to the surprise of the burly man.

Do you speak our language?"

"He has the skills to do that," Shay explained. "This is Zach Atwood, the mayor of Port Atwood on a neighboring island. Mr. Atwood, I'm Basso Moon. He was the leader and chief engineer of Kirston. ”

"Why are you two on a neighboring island? are the others still there?" asked Basso after nodding to Zack.

"It's a long story, I'll explain as I go. ”

Blaser nodded and led them into the city. As they walked, Zach looked around curiously, content to let Shay show her father how the system and tutorials would work as standard. It soon became clear that Coatstown was not the place to put down the cultivator at the end of the month.

When the despicable or bestial person mentions humans, Zach's heart beats faster for a moment, hoping that Hannah and the others will get off here. But the people of Ishigaki were ignorant of most things about the system, completely shattering that hope.

From the outside, the town looks sturdy, but it's clear they're in some trouble. Many houses have collapsed, and there are wounds and blood stains in many places. Even Shay couldn't help but ask what was going on, and Basso sighed.

"It's a damn bird. There was a flock of big white birds that went crazy a month ago. Prior to this, they lived mainly near the sea and fed on fish or small animals. But as they grow up, their appetite increases. They began to attack our towns, literally catching people in the air," he said in a tired voice.

"We are constantly shooting them with technology and weapons. But now they are very large, and if we kill them in the air, their corpses turn into dangerous shells that can kill people when they hit the ground. No matter how many people we kill, they seem endless,"

"Can you buy a defensive formation?" Zach asked, glancing painetously from the town's leader.

"That's the problem. We did mention the Crystal House, but we couldn't buy more than a shop and some basic structures, like a blacksmith shop run by those weird robots. We got these choices after defending against a series of monster attacks.

"I know that the fortifications you mentioned exist, but we can't buy them. It seems like we need to unlock them with another quest, but we haven't even received the quest yet. ”

Zach nodded, not too surprised. At the moment, very few people have the option to buy an array. Otherwise, many more people will be able to get Teleporters, far more than the more than 50 cities and towns around the world currently have.

Zach was about to ask a follow-up question, but was interrupted by a commotion.

An Asian man in his early 20s shouted at their group.

"Xiaotuan, is that you?" cried the old fisherman in a trembling voice, his eyes immediately red.

Mr. Zhuang had already mentioned earlier that the younger generation had left the ship to help their grandparents. Unfortunately, they haven't been heard from since. It looks like at least one of them ended up on this island somehow, one of the "hairless" mentioned by Basso.

The man rushed up to the old fisherman, followed by several young Vietnamese, who appeared to be between 20 and 35 years old. Zach breathed a sigh of relief and saw that they seemed to be well fed and unharmed, which meant they might not be prisoners. He really wants to recruit some Ichites for his town, but if they mistreat the grandchildren of Sapu and others, it will be a tricky situation.

"Why are you children here?" asked Mr. Nguyen, looking at the villagers.

"Our boat was attacked by some terrible fish while searching for the mainland, and we sailed to the island before the boat sank...... Jiang Hefu didn't succeed," the regiment commander replied with a face full of shame. "We're scared to death, but these aliens won't help build a spaceship because it's too dangerous. ”

"It's glad you stayed here instead of going back for us old people. We left by boat and now live in Lord Zack's town. We did a good job, Zhuang Laohan is already level 28. And the old man is almost ready for class," he said with a smile.

"I'm glad you're okay. Why don't you stay here?" I'm sure these aliens won't mind, they're fine, even though it's a little difficult to make people understand yourself," another young man said.

Mr. Nguyen shook his head and replied, "No, you children had better come back with me and Lord Zach when we're done here." ”。 "It seems a bit dangerous here, and Atwood Harbour is completely safe. ”

Because Mr. Nguyen is one of the main naval scouts, he gets a skill crystal (for the Book of Babel), so Basso and another Ishii can understand his words.

He responded with a big phrase: "This is our safety." ”。

"I think Mr. Nguyen is just referring to the fact that we have eliminated any threatening beasts on the island, so we don't have to worry about these things anymore. However, with invasions and other threats, both humanity and Ishigaki face a situation that cannot be called completely safe.

The Vietnamese looked at them with a look of surprise and saw that the people of Ishii seemed to understand their words and react. Apparently, they still don't know language skills.

"Other threats?" Basso said, frowning.

"Is there any place we can talk about it privately?" Zach asked.

Soon, they found themselves in a large conference room, which seemed to be part castle and part hangar. Outwardly, they were either trying to build, or had actually built a zeppelin, although he could not see one of them floating around.

Blaser and his guards were joined by a number of other leaders in Cogstown, who listened as Shay explained her experiences and discoveries during and from the tutorial. The Vietnamese were also in the room, and the old fisherman was silently translating for them in the corner.

When Zach needed some clarification, he offered, but other than that, he was content to let Ichter speak.

"I heard Mr. Zach mention our flag at the meeting, and we immediately chose to follow him. "That's how we went home," Shay recounted her experience with another practitioner. It appears that she and the other Kirsten monks were thrown on the other side of the globe, and Shay participated in the auction because she had gained language skills in the tutorial.

"It's gratifying to hear that so many of us are alive with our loved ones. It's a pity we can't connect with them," Basso said with a sigh as he looked at Zach. "I thank you, Mr. Zack, for bringing my daughter home. ”

"No problem. Zach said he would come here no matter what.

"Oh?" Basso said, and the other Ichter looked at Zach curiously or warily.

"In a sense, we're neighbors on our island, and I believe it's important to get to know each other," Zach said. ”。 "I would also like to extend an invitation to the citizens of Coatstown. Over the past few months, we've traveled all over the archipelago to rescue anyone trapped and besieged by monsters. ”

In the end, Zach found a hiring opportunity that he wouldn't miss.

"Atwood Harbour needs skilled craftsmen. After talking to Shay, I learned that people like you are both creative and skilled. Many of you have gone from trying to improve your techniques to becoming craftsmen with great success. If you are willing to relocate to my island, you will be the most popular," he continued.

"Why do we want to move and become subordinates of humans?" asked Ishii, drawing a nervous look from her.

"Safety and improvement. It's fair to say that Port Atwood is unique on the entire planet. We have access to knowledge that you won't find anywhere else. A lot of the information about the invasion and the Juggernaut that Shay mentioned earlier came from us. We also have abundant resources to improve your craft, and the cosmic energy density on our island is unmatched," Zach replied without hesitation.

"Most importantly, our citizens are safe and therefore able to focus on personal development. ”

"Our people have lived here for generations, and what you're proposing is a huge change. Basso politely said, "I beg your pardon, we can wait a moment while we discuss things."

Zach understood that they would most likely ask Xie and her husband something without himself and his team snooping, so he nodded to the old fisherman and the demon guard and left with them.

Mr. Nguyen's grandson and others followed, and soon they found themselves lying on a set of sofas in another room.

"Hey, how did you learn to speak in various languages?" the regimental commander asked Zach. "Looks really convenient. ”

"Boy, be polite to Lord Zack," said the old fisherman, slapping his fist on the back of his grandson's head.

"Oh, Grandpa, why do you keep calling him sir? Is he a European nobleman?"

"What European?" he was a badass on the ladder," the old man explained. "Do things well, we ordinary people can survive thanks to Master Zack. Work hard and you'll be able to get opportunities that others can only dream of. We may not have come from great origins before the world changed, but that doesn't matter anymore. ”

"What's going on?" asked the regimental commander, and the others looked confused.

Zach could only shake his head. He understood that the old man was still following the rules he had set earlier, preventing him from saying anything about Port Atwood. The old man still wanted to express the importance of being in peace with Zack.

But since he gave the order, things have changed, and he does not hide anything, but tells the truth.

"I'm super brother. ”

It took some convincing, but soon, it was no longer strange for the young Vietnamese, whose elders admired a foreigner much younger than him, and they stopped talking about living in Ishigaki. Obviously, it seemed like a more reasonable idea to stay with the top ranks' troops, especially since the other elders remained in Port Atwood.

It took Shea and Basso nearly an hour to join Zach, even though the Ichtes were good hosts, bringing some food and drink while they waited. When he cautiously looked at Zach, who was sitting in his seat, there was a clear change in his demeanor. As he sat on a free couch across from Zack, the big man looked uneasy.

"I'm sorry to have waited so long, Master Zach. There's a lot to do. The news that my daughter brought about the change in the world was disturbing, to say the least. We knew something extraordinary had happened, but the reality was far beyond our expectations," Blaser said, looking exhausted.

"We understand where you come from, and perhaps moving Kirstown to your future residential and commercial area is the best option for us in the future. However, I can't make such a decision on the spot. We've lived in this town for the rest of our lives, and we can't just leave it.

"Our savage brothers think that we are indifferent to the past, but this is wrong. We are constantly building on the efforts of our ancestors to improve the lives of future generations. Coghston is the result of four generations of Ichtian people pushing themselves to unravel the universe. ”

While Zach doesn't feel the same way about his hometown of Greenworth, he understands where he's coming from.

"I'm not going to force anyone to do something they don't want to do. But you should make a decision early because your problems with the bird may only get worse. "Usually we'll help, but we'll be busy in the days that follow," Zach replied.

Zach continued: "We're leaving soon, and it's about 10 days to 2 weeks before we can visit again, which is the fastest time I can imagine. ”。

"We know that your troops will soon face some kind of trial, although Shay is not aware of the details. I'd like to send a couple of repairmen back if you want. They are the same people who built the cannons on our walls, and may be useful to your war efforts. Basso replied, "In fact, they will also scout your troops and islands to see if we should relocate." ”。

"That's good," Zach said, not surprised.

He didn't expect the isolated Ichter to rise up because of his or Shay's words, and the response he received from Costown was better than expected. The tinker may even play a role in the coming wave.

Basso chatted with Zach for a while, and Zach even promised to sell a exploration vessel like his used one, worth up to 5 million coins. The money printing machine at the creator shipyard is finally starting to give back.

He had explained this situation to the creators a long time ago, so the ship itself apparently mimicked a massive human force called the Albright Empire, spanning multiple galaxies. Any foreigner who sees these ships will think that they were built by some senior engineer of that empire.

Only an hour later, Zach sat down in the bow again, his eyes closed, ignoring the hustle and bustle of the crowded boat behind him.
