Three days later.
Hank Island, Queen's Bay, bottom of the ocean.
There is a secret entrance underwater. After entering it and going further inside, there is a huge cave shining with sunlight and pearls.
The sunlight is guided from the sea surface by a special pure water light-guiding technique, while the pearlescent light comes from the pearls on the ground.
Yes, pearls, countless pearls! In a circular depression with a diameter of 10 meters, there are countless pearls.
Big, small, round, and irregular.
White, blue, purple, black, gold, and colorful.
Just like sand piled up randomly on the ground.
But although the stacking is random, some thought is put into its storage, and it is always warmed by a faint force of pure water.
So it shows amazing luster.
The sunlight guided by the sea water shines on it, showing a layer of colorful hazy light.
At this moment, Rosen was lying lazily in the bright light, scooping up a handful of pearls with his right hand out of boredom, and letting the pearls flow through his fingers.
"Your Majesty, this is an astonishing fortune."
These pearls are of excellent quality, and many of them are rare treasures.
The huge number gave Rosen an astonishing plan.
If this plan is implemented perfectly, it will be enough to gather an enormous fortune.
Based on this, White Sturgeon Island can quickly become the strongest county in northern Weilan.
That's right, it's the county! Whether in terms of manpower, material resources, financial resources, or even military strength, it is far ahead of the Shire County and is the strongest county in the north!
Of course, such a drastic plan would make a lot of noise and would easily be resisted.
It is quite difficult to implement it perfectly and requires a lot of preliminary preparation.
"Don't call me Your Majesty. Call me Lily from now on."
A soft, slightly hoarse voice came from Rosen's left.
Following the sound, I saw the white body of the Banshee Queen Laertris, which was shining with pearls.
Different from the cold look three days ago, the King of Queens now looked lazy. He coiled around Rosen like a snake, wriggling slowly.
"Lily, I think we should take a break."
Although the "Divine Gunmanship" powered by the Ten Rings Mana allowed him to easily deal with the Banshee Queen, three consecutive days of fierce fighting had made him a little tired of this joyful game.
The Banshee Queen didn't want to continue, because she had suffered countless losses and could not bear it anymore.
"Rosen, don't let your mind be filled with wealth and conquest. Calm down and enjoy the present comfort. Isn't that a wonderful thing?"
This is true. Having great power and enjoying the world without worries is indeed as good as going to heaven.
Rosen could also feel that what Laertris said was entirely from her true inner thoughts.
Obviously, although she is a seven-ring wizard, she has no great ambitions. She just wants to guard her own piece of land and live a comfortable life.
I guess this should be the spiritual trait left over from the banshee ancestors.
But Rosen thought differently: "Lily, I'm afraid there is no truly quiet corner in the world now."
Laertris's face, as beautiful as peach blossoms, was full of regret: "Yes, I know, that's why I accept you."
"But I have no ability to change. I can only rely on you."
"These pearls, and that gold over there, and all that odd and wonderful thing, if you can use it, take it all."
Rosen's eyes followed the Banshee Queen's finger and looked at them one by one.
The pearl bed covers an area of about 75 square meters and is more than one meter thick. The gold is all nugget gold, piled up in a mess. The total weight of large and small pieces is estimated to be seven or eight tons.
In addition, there are various beautiful and exquisite gems, some of which can be named, and some of which Rosen has never seen before.
This is the wealth that the Banshee clan has accumulated over countless years.
This is indeed an enormous amount of wealth, or in other words, currency.
To the lord, money does not equate to power.
It requires all kinds of sophisticated techniques and careful operations to transform this wealth into real war power.
"Lily, I plan to transform Hank Island into a midway supply island and Queen's Bay into a harbor."
"Change it, whatever you want."
"The banshees will come to the land and live together with other tribes. Will the Azure Blessing have any impact on them?"
"My Azure Blessing is only effective for women, not men. Don't ask me why, this is what my ancestors left me."
"I know it's cruel, and I've tried to solve it, but life is too complicated. I tried everything but it didn't work, so I just gave up."
"Also, if I have too many children, I won't be able to bless every one of them. I won't have enough mana."
Rosen thought about it carefully and said, "Although the power of the ancestors is magical, it is not perfect."
"My preliminary research found that the Poseidon Blessing is based on the high-level application of shapeshifting and pure water power. Perhaps I can improve it."
After hearing this, the Banshee Queen raised her head slightly and looked at Rosen, with a dazed look in her blue eyes.
"Oh~~ Rosen~~ If you were in the ancient times, with your wisdom and strength, you would definitely be a greater existence than the so-called Godly Father Otargunther."
As she spoke, she gently rubbed her cheek against Rosen's chest, looking intoxicated: "I never thought that my husband would be such a great man."
These words come completely from the heart.
Although it is somewhat inconsistent with the current era, Rosen feels that there is no need to force it to change. As time goes by, it will naturally change.
"Another key issue is how to get ships across the deep sea to the East Golden Cape 1,500 kilometers away."
"Lily, do you really have a solution?"
"Of course I have a way."
The Banshee Queen laughed softly.
"The sea beasts are indeed very terrifying, and they do possess very terrifying power. Their intelligence is not low, but they are not superior to mortals. In many aspects, they are even far inferior."
"Those giant beasts rely too much on their huge bodies."
As she spoke, the Banshee Queen leaned close to Rosen's ear and whispered the secret stories from ancient times.
"The ears of giant animals are very sensitive. Whether it is a giant whale or an octopus, they don't like harsh noises in the sea."
"You know, we women love to scream the most, and this scream is like a sharp knife torturing the ears of the beast."
"If we use magic to strengthen this sound, we can drive the beasts far away, and we won't have to worry about being harassed by them."
"This spell is called 'Screaming Spear'."
Rosen suddenly realized and smiled again, "Lily, I don't hate your screams. On the contrary, I find them very pleasant to the ears."
The Banshee Queen's cheeks flushed: "You made my voice hoarse."
She had screamed more in the past three days than in the past three hundred years combined.
Rosen laughed out loud.
After a while of tenderness, the Banshee Queen began to teach the spell of "Screaming Spear".
Rosen naturally calmed down and studied carefully.
It was soon discovered that this was a high-level spell that loaded psychic power onto ultrasonic waves and used pure water power to amplify the sound waves.
It's not difficult, but it consumes a lot of mana.
"Without the blessing of spiritual power, can the light and sound alone have the effect of driving away the enemy?"
"There are some, but to achieve the same effect, the sound must be greatly enhanced. It is difficult for ordinary people's throats to produce such a loud sound."
“It works.”
For lightning spells, emitting ultrasonic waves is a piece of cake. It can be as strong as you want and the frequency can be adjusted at any time to ensure that it fills the underwater space in 360 degrees without blind spots.
The Banshee Queen was indeed completely conquered by Rosen. After teaching her "Howling Spear", she began to impart various sailing experiences for crossing the deep sea.
No matter how big or small, nothing is hidden.
Rosen naturally listened carefully, and at the same time felt that although Laertris was the queen, her personality was relatively simple.
Other banshees have similar personality traits.
This is probably because the social environment is too simple and people’s hearts are too pure.
If you encounter a human lord with no bottom line, you can easily play him around, brutally squeeze out all the value from him, and then discard him like a worn-out shoe.
But Rosen naturally wouldn't do that.
He would play with her carefully, cultivate her meticulously, and let this lovely and beautiful seven-ring pure water mage always shine for him.
After that, he stayed in the Treasure Cave for another day, and then planned to return to Sturgeon Island to begin implementing his new route strategy.
When he stood up and walked to the cave exit, and was about to jump into the water to leave, the Banshee Queen suddenly asked: "Rosen, you have already got what you wanted, will you come to conquer me again in the future?"
Rosen turned around to look at her and saw the Banshee Queen standing in the pearly light. She seemed to be dressed in luxury, but she exuded an aura of loneliness.
Rosen smiled faintly: "Of course, I will also build you the most magnificent castle in the world in the best place on Hank Island, and come back to the island from time to time to meet my beautiful Queen Lily."
Laertris's face suddenly broke into a smile: "It may not only be me, but also our children."
Rosen smiled and said, "Then don't be so cruel as to abandon the boy this time."
After a pause, he continued, "There will be many men on the island in the future, and my Lily will have to wear a beautiful dress."
"I don't really like skirts. They're not convenient for me to move in the water. Do I have to wear one?"
"At least wear it when you go out. I don't want other men to see the most wonderful view in the world."
Laertris smiled brightly and kicked a handful of pearls towards Rosen. "My true king, go conquer the world."
Rosen then jumped into the sea and left.
The three islands and the entire triangular sea area are all in his hands. The various resources in the territory have increased by orders of magnitude. He has to make a careful statistics and formulate a careful development plan.
Soon, he returned to the fleet waiting outside, and put on his clothes again under the almost worshipful gazes of the soldiers: "Return!"
"Yes, Lord!"
The fleet set off again.
On the way back, Rosen said to Harry, "Pass the order strictly, no one is allowed to disclose what happened on the island."
Harlin smiled awkwardly: "Lord, this matter cannot be kept secret."
Too many eyes saw it.
Rosen also knew that he couldn't keep it secret, so he sighed softly: "At least the details must not be leaked!"
