A spaceport? A very good spaceport? When Rorschach first heard this, he thought that he had misheard, or that the dancer in front of him was simply lying in order to get out of trouble.
After all, the absence of magic fog was the basic requirement for a spaceport. Even Cape Town's special climate didn't meet the requirements for a spaceport.
There were currently two types of spaceports. The first type was the rather common spaceports on the ground. They were either hollowed out mountains or natural deep valleys. Divine power, magic power, and magic circles were used to isolate the magic fog, barely reaching the standard of a spaceport.
This was obviously the patent of the long-established major God's churches. The cost of construction and maintenance was astronomical, but the investment was great, and the returns were great as well. Many well-known spaceports had become the core areas of certain God's factions, becoming the "welfare" of the God's faction.
Naturally, the Nature faction also had such spaceports, but on the one hand, they were located in the new Golden Plains where the Nature faction concentrated their development. On the other hand, Rorschach and the others didn't want to owe such a huge favor.
Perhaps they didn't even need to pay a fee, but sometimes, free was the most expensive.
With the example of the silver elf War God, Rorschach and the others were more and more in favor of this independent development path. They didn't want to be too deeply involved with the major factions.
Artificial spaceports needed to be developed and maintained. Another way was to rely on the mountains and rivers, but in fact, there were very few such spaceports.
Ansorenne's powerful Elemental Tide had created many natural and biological miracles, and floating islands were one of them.
Floating islands and cities existed in Eich as well. However, most of them were man-made. In the immemorial generation of magic and the Haletdam generation, it was said that the entire continent had over a hundred floating cities. In fact, there were even rumors of floating golden continents.
Under the combined effects of the Elemental Tide and special ores, parts of Ansorenne's territory were free from the shackles of gravity. Only the high altitude islands floating above the magic fog could be chosen as natural spaceports.
Since they were above the magic fog, they were naturally not affected by the magic fog. With the current level of technology, they were far superior to artificial spaceports.
Not only that, it was a holy land above the Elemental Tide that could ignore the magical mist's interference. Even if it wasn't used as a production base or workshop, as long as it was open to the public, the abundant sunlight and natural scenery would instantly make it a popular tourist destination.
Obviously, only the strong deserve beauties … cough, I mean, every single floating island in existence has had a series of battles and fights. The final possessor naturally wouldn't be able to convince the other competitors with justice and love.
The original site of an unowned spaceport? Rorschach had never had such a dream before.
"It's a very, very high mountain. Gulonglong Mountain is very, very high. It's at the top, above the clouds. "
The brown-skinned Seymour dancer's stuttering narration made everyone excited.
As it turned out, this Xi Mo woman who called herself Xixi was not a local Horned Elephant Tribe Xi Mo person, but a Xi Mo person who moved away during the great migration and had an eagle as their totem.
According to her description, the Eagle Tribe (temporary name), the West Mo people, finally found their home. They settled down in a mountain range called Guronglong Mountain. Every year during the thunderstorm season, the tribe members would climb to the top of the mountain to avoid the lightning strikes.
And that mountain peak definitely had the potential to become a spaceport.
But here came the problem …
"Why did you tell us? Why did you tell outsiders like us? "
Yes, the tribe's gathering place was obviously a top secret. What reason did they have to tell outsiders? It was fine if they were friends, but the chances of them being greedy wolves with evil intentions were obviously higher.
"… We … We're about to lose … our home. There's … no choice. Help … "
Her stuttering words were filled with anxiety and unease from the bottom of her heart.
In Cape Town, which had entered a period of full expansion, the ratio of war slaves was abnormally high, and Xixi was one of them.
The secret of Guronglong Mountain was not worth mentioning, and it had even been widely spread. Originally, the Eagle Tribe's warriors and spellcasters were considered the top forces in this wasteland, which was why they were able to protect this mountain peak.
Following the rise of Horn City, as well as its contact with the outside world and the descenders during its rise, the Horned Elephant Tribe, which had already begun to enter a slave society, gradually surpassed the primitive Eagle Tribe in all aspects.
Originally, everyone could still get along peacefully. After all, they all had the same ancestor, and they all migrated here during the great calamity caused by the descent of the Evil God.
But in the past few decades, with the help of outsiders, the Horned Elephant Tribe's shipbuilding industry developed. Following that, the Horned Elephant Tribe's commercial and transportation hub status increased their strength by tenfold or even hundredfold in a short period of time.
The bottleneck of the shipbuilding industry was also limited by the environment, so naturally, there were people who thought of the sky above Guronglong Mountain.
Thus, naturally, the blood relatives who were once the descendants of the victims of the disaster raised their blades against their own tribe.
And this war lasted on and off for almost 30 years … Cough, considering that they had to retreat during the thunderstorm season, as well as the vast wasteland terrain and the Magic Fog that obstructed their vision during the thunderstorm season, most of the primitive tribes' wars would become a war of attrition for several generations.
Facing the increasingly powerful Horned Elephant Tribe, the West Mo people who lived scattered in the wastelands, hills and caves formed an alliance. At the beginning, there were some who won and some lost.
But due to the existence of Cape Town, the Horned Elephant Tribe had endless war potential, while the other side had fewer and fewer members. They also had to face Cape Town's increasingly cunning policies of coercion and bribery. Before Xixi was captured, there were only 3 tribes who were bitterly holding on.
But regardless of whether it was from Xixi's narration or the various types of slave market in Cape Town, this war was nearing its end.
The Horned Elephant Tribe that had unified the Halait Wastelands would become the regional overlord. Perhaps they could even unify the West Mo people in this region and become the founding emperor or something.
Using a cliché to describe it, from the moment Cape Town was established and developed, the rise of the Horned Elephant Tribe was already a historical trend. What can we do? Rorschach thought for a moment and could only give such an answer in the end …
"Watch the show? Or prepare more funds and become the first batch of customers after the Horned Elephant Tribe obtains the new spaceport? "
Don't blame Rorschach for being cold-blooded. Blindly getting involved in the internal strife of other tribes was the most foolish and taboo thing to do. Even the powerful Great God Church wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
There were already many precedents of them being taken advantage of by helping the weaker side to win. If they were instigated by someone with ulterior motives, they would become the mastermind behind the internal strife and evil invaders with ill intentions.
"… It's useless for you to tell us this."
This was an instant answer without hesitation. Even if they didn't consider the consequences, such a large scale event had far exceeded what Rorschach and the Game Church could interfere with.
It was very straightforward to express that they couldn't do anything. And even if they could, the Game Church wouldn't be so stupid to get involved in such muddy waters for the right to use a spaceport.
Crying, despair, making a firm decision, forcing a smile, this West Mo dancer showed an unfamiliar face in front of Rorschach.
But the information that she made up her mind to reveal instantly made everyone's expression change.
