Hailar and Zion's sister and brother were very satisfied with Qiao'an's warning, and hurriedly blessed the protection spell.
Just as the atmosphere in the grass gradually became anxious, and when the conflict was about to break out, a long hum was suddenly heard in the air, causing Qiao An to be alert.
When I looked up, I saw a big bird flying in the sky with a white head and gray back, webbed toes, and a full ten feet long with wings spread out. It seemed to be an albatross with piscine eyes.
On the back of the albatross, a petite figure is vaguely visible.
Not long after, the albatross hovered and landed, just to separate Qiao'an and others from the dwarfs.
A beautiful female dwarf rides on the back of this bird of prey, wearing a long dress made of colorful feathers, holding a two-inch red coral wand in her hand, exuding an icy breath.
Qiao An can see that the red coral wand held by this pocket lady is likely to be a 4-ring "Ice Storm". Combined with the dress of the wand owner, it is not difficult to guess that she is a spellcaster. By.
As for the albatross that obediently flew her, most of them were the favorite of this little lady.
...
Reconnaissance target: Little Dwarf and Witch 7 (Ultra-small fairy, amphibious subspecies)
Life level: 7
Attributes: Strength 6, Dexterity 20, Constitution 12, Intelligence 20, Wisdom 15, Charisma 19
Special ability: unproven
...
The investigation result of "Advanced Inner Vision" confirmed Qiao'an's guess that the little lady who descended from the sky on the albatross was indeed a witch, and judging from the respectful attitude of other dwarves towards her, the witch was in The clan must enjoy a quite respectable status.
The little witch jumped off the albatross back and walked towards Joan and the others.
The little men dressed as soldiers hurriedly followed, holding weapons to guard the witch, and watching Qiao An and others vigilantly, as if they were afraid they would attack the witch.
The witch stopped and waved her hand to signal that the people of the tribe shouldn't be nervous, then looked up at the oldest Captain Odysseus among the outsiders, calmly telling her identity.
"Strangers, standing in front of you at this moment is Minnie Heron XII, the current monarch of the Kingdom of Lilliput. I think I have the right to question you, you intrude into my land without invitation, what do you want? for?"
Although her majesty is small, her demeanor is quite majestic. After magically amplified, her quiet questioning becomes extraordinarily loud and clear into the ears of everyone present, and she can't help but awe.
What surprised everyone even more was that Queen Minnie spoke in human lingua franca, and her pronunciation was also very pure. It can be seen that she has a much deeper understanding of the human world than her own people.
"His Majesty the Queen, please allow me to express my deep apologies to you on behalf of my companions."
Captain Odysseus took off his hat and pressed it to his chest, bowing deeply to Queen Minnie.
"Frankly speaking, we don’t know anything about the island under your control, nor do we have any malicious intent towards you and your people. The reason why we lived on this island was completely accidental. Conflict is also caused by misunderstanding."
"My benevolent Queen, we just want to rest for a while on your territory and collect some fresh water by the way. I hope this small request will not make you feel embarrassed."
After hearing the words of the captain, Queen Minnie nodded thoughtfully, turned and looked at the working steam pump, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Holden saw her thoughts and explained to her in due course: "Your Majesty, this machine is called a water pump. It uses magic crystals as energy to drive a steam boiler and use steam to push a piston to continuously pump water, thus eliminating the laborious work of manually pumping water. ."
"I have heard of a similar magical device, but it is installed on a large ship. It is said that it can drive the oars to automatically paddle the water, and can navigate freely in the windless sea." Queen Minnie said thinking.
This is a bit beyond the knowledge reserve of Mr. Poet, and quickly winked at Qiao An.
Qiao Anxin understood, and then Holden said to Queen Minnie: "The structure of a marine steam turbine is more complicated than a steam pump, but the energy and working principles are the same."
"Humans are indeed a magical race. There is no lack of smart minds in your world, but it is also full of barbaric atrocities..."
The little queen sighed with emotion and looked up at Qiao An: "How much water do you have to pump to use?"
"The accumulated water in this pond is enough for us to extract 13." Qiao An gestured towards the pond, and then quickly emphasized: "Pumping out this fresh water will theoretically not destroy the ecology of the island."
"Ms. Minnie, you are the lord of the island. Of course, the pond is your property. If you need us to make compensation, just say it straight." Hailar patted the purse, "We are serious businessmen, and we guarantee fair dealing."
"Most of us at Lilliput have the ability to freely release the'water making technique'. There is as much fresh water as we need, and you don't need to worry about it even if you use it."
Queen Minnie smiled faintly, and then said: "But then again, I do want to discuss a deal with you. I dare say that it is good for both parties. If you are interested, please come with me."
Without waiting for Hailar to reply, Queen Minnie turned and walked towards the depths of the grass, and her guard retreated the same way.
"What should I do next, do you want to go with her?" Hailar whispered to his companions.
"This Queen Minnie may be a witch or a warlock. We'd better not go with her. If we fall into a trap, it will be troublesome if she casts spells to become a pig." Captain Odysseus smiled bitterly.
The evil witches living on the desert islands cast spells to turn sailors who were shipwrecked and wandering on the islands into pigs. Such stories have been passed down since ancient times and are well-known to every family.
"I don't think that little queen looks like a bad person. If we refuse his invitation, it would be too rude. Maybe it will irritate her. That's not good." Audrey said.
Holden also felt that it was all here, so it's better to go to the dwarf's residence, and even if the deal fails in the end, it would be nice to have a long view.
"What do you think?" Hailar looked at Qiao An.
"Queen Minnie is a 7th-level witch, even if it is malicious to us, it is not difficult to deal with. I am worried that there is still a mythical creature on this island, but I still cannot be sure where the other party is hiding." Qiao An truthfully Tell.
Hailar hesitated for a moment, and finally made a decision: "Mr. Captain and the sailors stay here, collect enough fresh water and return to the boat. Joanne, Audrey and the little gangster, come with me to see Queen Minnie and see what she wants. What tricks!"
Joan himself also tends to accept the invitation of Queen Minnie. Not to mention, sister and brother Zion followed Hailar through the grass to the lakeside of the island where the dwarves live.
