When he woke up, they had arrived at the Port of Flowers.
The siren A Qi also woke up from the shell because of the movement of the Flowers. She stretched and quietly opened a crack. "Liszt, have we arrived?"
"Yes, let me show you my castle first."
"Castle … the place where the lord lives … I have heard that there are many princes and princesses living in castles, and beautiful … love."
When she heard that Liszt was going to take her to the castle, A Qi was a little uneasy, but also a little excited. She did not know what kind of stories she had heard about castles before. It was probably what the commoners loved to fantasize about, the poignant, beautiful, and touching love between a prince and a princess.
"There are no princes and princesses in my castle, only me, the lord, the servants, many sprite worms, and the naughty thorn sprite, Ella."
"Sprite … so beautiful, I have seen it … a long time ago, at the beach."
"Where is the beach?" Liszt's eyes lit up and he asked.
"I don't know, it should be far away … I was chased by Muru Mitkita and came here … I forgot … where it was."
What a pity.
If the siren A Qi could provide the exact location, Liszt would definitely sail there and try to catch the sprites on the beach. In this world, there are many wild sprites, but they are extremely rare. After all, to evolve from a sprite worm to a sprite, it requires too many pheromones.
It is difficult to collect enough pheromones and overcome other difficulties to complete the evolution by relying on the sprite worm itself.
… …
The dock workers have begun to unload.
Kosto came to ask Liszt how to carry the big shell.
"Let me think for a while, Captain Kosto. Wait a moment." Liszt sent Kosto away and asked the siren again, "A Qi, can your shell become smaller? It is too big and there is no suitable carriage to carry it."
"Ah, A Qi can't … A Qi was born … this big. It has been protecting A Qi … from being eaten by sea monsters."
A Qi has the ability to control the flow of water. She can make the shell swim in the sea, but on land, the shell cannot move at all.
As for A Qi herself, she cannot leave the shell until she has grown feet.
Because she was one with the special seawater inside the shell, just like a sprite worm that had yet to mature and shed its worm stalk.
"Then I will order the carriage to be dismantled and the shells to be removed. After you've visited my castle, I'll think of a way to settle you down properly so that you won't be threatened by Grummitta. "
In the open shell, the siren A Qi smiled sweetly, "Well … thank you, Liszt."
Liszt bowed gracefully. "It is my honor to protect the beautiful A Qi."
He turned around and left.
He immediately ordered his subordinates to dismantle an expensive carriage, leaving only the frame of the carriage. In this way, the large shell with a diameter of three meters could be placed on the shelf and secured with a rope.
Under the curious gazes of Gort and the other officials who rushed over, Liszt rode on Dosen and personally escorted the big shell along the gravel road to the castle.
"Continue with your work, don't stand here and watch. It's just a big shell picked up from the sea, just like the giant clam before." Liszt scolded the overly curious Gort and others.
He had the shell placed in the castle hall.
Now there was a new problem. The shell with a diameter of three meters, although very light – the shell and the seawater inside, as well as the siren A Qi, did not have much weight, maybe only as heavy as two or three people – but because of its size, it was difficult to move it into the castle's second floor.
"Alas, I ignored a lot of problems before, my brain turned into paste … It is a bit difficult to take in A Qi in the castle, my castle is too small."
If it was Tulip Castle, it would be easy to prepare an exclusive room for the siren upstairs.
However, the castle in Flower Town was just a small, nameless castle, with only two floors in total. The aisles and corridors were very narrow, and the big shell could not pass through at all.
Liszt was even more reluctant to put it downstairs and live on the same floor as the servants.
It was selfishness that made him lose his mind. He just wanted to monopolize A Qi's beauty. Of course, A Qi did need to be kept a secret. When the problem was put in front of him and he calmed down, he regained a little of his clarity.
Letting Carter leave the hall with the servants first, he knocked on the shell.
The shell opened and A Qi carefully looked at the castle hall with curiosity. "Liszt, this is a castle … a beautiful castle, A Qi has arrived at a human castle."
"In fact, the upstairs is even more beautiful. That is where I live, and this floor is where the servants live. But the corridor is very narrow, and I can't send you up. "
"Oh."
A Qi showed a regretful expression.
Liszt couldn't bear it and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "How about this, I will build a two-story cabin outside the castle. You can live on it, and I will open the wall between the cabin and the castle so that you can visit the second floor … Yes, it's decided."
As a man of action, Liszt did not hesitate to call Isaiah and give his instructions.
He pointed to the bug house facing the north of the castle: "Isaiah, immediately arrange for workers to build a two-story cabin in this position and connect it to the castle."
"My Lord, are you going to raise a shell sea monster on top of the cabin?" Isaiah asked curiously. It was difficult to ignore such a big shell.
"Yes, this is a very interesting shell. I think it has a pearl in it. Let's raise it first."
"Shouldn't a shell be raised in the water?"
"If it is raised in the water, it will run away. I still need to do some research. Don't ask too much, just follow my orders." The advantage of being a noble lord was that he always kept his word. As long as Liszt made a decision, even if it was a strange decision, his subordinates would faithfully carry it out.
Isaiah bowed and saluted: "As you wish."
… …
During the construction period, the shell placed in the hall never opened. Only when Liszt sent fruit would A Qi open the shell.
The castle also did not hold any banquets on the grounds of construction.
Liszt still dealt with official business, cultivated his qi, and went out on patrol every day as usual, but he has stopped writing the series of history books "Dragons Fighting in the Wild". During this time, it was necessary to appease the siren A Qi, who was a little uneasy because of the new environment.
The beauty of the siren was one thing. More importantly, with the siren, they would not get lost sailing on the sea.
And after asking, he also learned that the siren could predict storms, perceive sea monsters, and cast some water magic. Therefore, the importance of the siren A Qi is huge and has strategic value.
Three days.
The illegal construction of the castle, the shell wooden building, was successfully completed, and the big shell was successfully hoisted up. The passage to the bug house was opened, and the siren A Qi and the thorn sprite, Ella, became neighbors.
"Wow!"
Ella was grumpy with strangers, but to the siren, she showed strong curiosity and a sense of gentle intimacy.
She circled around the shell.
After the shell was opened, she stared curiously at the siren A Qi, "Wow, wow!"
"Hello, Ella … My name is A Qi, I am a siren." A Qi stretched out her hand, and Ella tilted her head and muttered a few meaningless sounds before falling on her palm.
The siren held out the sprite.
