After three days of continuous sailing on the vast sea, the ship had long since deviated far from the general course, but in the early morning of the fourth day, the island of Saman had already appeared in the watchman's field of vision. It is a large island with an area of tens of square kilometers, and the mountains to the west have more than one spring, which solves the most important freshwater problem. At the same time, the forests that cover most of the island also provide the necessary timber for the construction of the port. When Richard embarks on his journey to the plane, a small harbor and a small village will be built on the island of Salman.

Sea vessels anchored near the shore and relied on small boats to carry people and supplies to the island. Richard, on the other hand, went into the forest with Quicksand and Lina to find a suitable place to set up the portal. As Richard's soul guard, the splash wandered around not far away, and through the soul contract, Richard could occasionally feel a faint joy coming from the other side, as if she was happy to return to the forest.

In the end, Lina chose a piece of flat land halfway up the mountain, opened the space bag she carried, took out pieces of magic crystals, and began to arrange the teleportation array. The teleportation circle was extremely complex, and even Lina would have taken at least a day or more to set it up.

That night, Richard lit several bonfires around the clearing, and sat around the campfires with quicksand, roasting the prey he had caught with the splash. Lina continued to work, the magic crystals that had been placed in place flashed with strange colors from time to time.

From this vantage point, you can see that several bonfires have also been lit on the beach, and more than a dozen tents have been erected. After Richard embarks on his journey from here, they will stay behind to build docks, set up villages, and live here for generations if they go their way.

The campfire kept jumping, reflecting the faces of Richard and Quicksand. Neither of them spoke. Although this is a relatively safe low-level plane, it is only relatively safe, and no one dares to say what will happen in an unfamiliar plane. So in the moments before leaving, the pressure becomes huge and real.

It was a very unquiet night. A few griffons glided silently in the shadows of the Rainbow Crescent, and finally, under the skilful control of the knights, landed on the floating island of Faust 71.

Moments later, the luxurious and comfortable parlor of Floating Island Castle 71 was already filled with several important figures in the whole of Faust. What's more, they appear here, not on behalf of themselves, but on behalf of the entire family behind them.

In the center sat a majestic old man, Duke Vic Mensa, the patriarch of the Mensa family, who occupied Floating Island 71. Like Joseph, the Mensa family is also a veteran of the Holy League, and their family history is even longer than that of the League. Mensa's strength is on par with Joseph, which can be seen from the ranking of floating islands.

On the sofa to the left of the Duke of Mensa sat Baron Raymond Joseph, who had come to the Council on behalf of the entire Joseph family. To the right of the Duke sat a handsome and somewhat gloomy young man, Viscount Deschamps of the House of Wellingbourg. The Duke of Wellingburg, perched on Floating Island 63, is a true figure in the League. The representative of the Schumpeter family on Floating Island 77 can only sit under Viscount Deschamps Wellingbourg.

Together, these four families represent an extremely large force. At the heart of the meeting was the threat posed by the House of Akmund and Richard.

After paying his respects to the Duke of Mensa, Raymond looked around the audience and said sternly, "Ladies and gentlemen. It had been less than two years since Akmund arrived in Faust, and the sacrifices had only been made three times, and the divine grace he received had already caused the floating island to jump. I think you know better than I do what this means. We cannot allow this group of lunatics to expand in this way, and we must take strong measures to suppress them. The first target was Richard Akmund. From the information I have, Richard not only has a legendary mage as a teacher, he also has all the necessary conditions to become a Grand Constructor, yes, everyone, Grand Constructor, this is not an assertion I have made in order to exaggerate his danger, but it is based on facts. The latest information confirms that the composite structure, which fetched a high price of 5 million gold coins at auction a year ago, was made by Richard. ”

The representative of the Schumpeter family slapped the armrest of the sofa hard, and said hatefully, "If I had known this, I should have killed him when he followed Gordon to sacrifice that night!"

Deschamps snorted, and said in a strange way: "Kill him?" That night, I heard that several families were lying in ambush on the road, but in the end, no one dared to do anything, I am afraid that Gordon will be like this! Hmph, including you Schumpeter's people, right?"

The face of the representative of the Schumpeter family immediately turned red, but he did not dare to refute Viscount Deschamps.

Floating Island 77 is an extremely awkward position, and it will always face the onslaught of new families interested in entering Faust. If there were any more of the new families marching into Faust, Schumpeter was counting on aid from Wellingburg.

But at such a sensitive and critical moment, how would they dare to provoke Akmund lightly? If another war with Gordon were to start a war, the Schumpeter family would inevitably be greatly discouraged even if they barely remained undefeated. Maybe those families who have been eyeing each other for a long time will seize the opportunity and immediately announce their entry into Faust. And can a war with Gordon guarantee undefeat? Gordon cleanly crippled the original family of Floating Island 73. All-out war with Akmund? Don't even think about it, even Akmund's feud Joseph had never done such a stupid thing.

Raymond spoke at this time, dissolving the awkward atmosphere: "Everyone, as far as I know, it was not Gordon who sacrificed that night, but Richard!"

"Richard?" Duke Mensa snorted and frowned, "It seems that as soon as the sacrifice is over, this young master will leave Faust." In this way, it is likely that he has received a large number of temporal divine graces, and if he is lucky enough, he will even include both life extension and dimensional time flow rate changes. In other words, by the time we see Richard again, he will most likely have turned into a very threatening enemy. ”

"If we also get a gifted charisma, or even a specific type of construct, then we may face a Holy Constructor in the future. Don't forget St. Peter and his famous Heavenly Forces!" added Raymond.

The atmosphere in the conference room immediately became depressed and gloomy, and after analyzing this, everyone present basically agreed with the judgment of Joseph's family Raymond, and Richard's threat had surpassed that of Ellie Jie and became the second person after Gordon. And worst of all, at least lately, he has more divine grace than Gordon. Even if everyone knows the selfishness of the Joseph family, the families present have a reason why they have to come, and the shadow of Gordon is like a big sword hanging over his head, once it falls, it is not necessarily Joseph who will be the first to be beheaded.

Duke Mensa pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind, saying, "Action must be taken, and Richard must not be allowed to grow." ”
