After Tisilis was silent for a long time, she spoke again: "I'm sorry, I just don't want to hide behind you. I know that my strength is not worthy of fighting alongside you, but I still hope to do something within my power." , instead of being under heavy protection and watching you fight fierce enemies every time."
"In a group, everyone plays a different role." Ryan comforted Tisilis: "Take the battleship we are on now as an example. The person responsible for raising the two deep-sea squids is responsible for Those who maintain the battleship, and even those who are responsible for providing food, can only perform their duties to make it move forward quickly. If only combatants are used as the standard, then I estimate that everyone will be hungry soon, and those two deep sea It’s possible for a squid to just turn back the water if it doesn’t have anything to eat.”
"I..." Tisilis hesitated to speak,
"Okay, I understand your thoughts, because I have also had that feeling of powerlessness." Ryan said with a smile: "Actually, Fani and I, as legendary powerhouses, are very poor compared to others. You Look at Master Oro, who among them doesn't have a bunch of powerful magic items on them, but I can barely see through this seven-eyed robe, and the star robe passed down by Fani is still my previous work, of course we It’s not that you don’t need it, but it’s not that you can’t do it. Since you are so eager to have power, I’ll put more thought into it.”
"Actually, this is our mistake, because we are all familiar with not using external objects to fight the enemy, but instead neglecting the needs of other people around us." Faras also said: "It's just, Ryan, there is only one day left. It’s been a night, are you too late? Don’t forget that you also promised to make magic tattoos for those in Blood Dance.”
"No, no, Fani, you are wrong. It's not a day and a night, but a month." Ryan said confidently: "The time when Tisilis really has to face the challenge alone is when the New Year's sacrifice begins. Before that, It won’t be a big deal if you protect us throughout the whole process. Don’t forget that we came to Findayala secretly. As long as we plan well, we can definitely take the initiative.”

"Next."
The dark elf Shana disguised by Sophie shouted in a cold voice. Following Sophie's cry, a young female Naga with only a few clothes covering her vitals came over quickly, and then she hovered her tail fin around On the swivel chair in front of Ryan, his body was completely exposed to Ryan's eyes. Ryan first motioned Sophie to turn the chair, and after checking the whole body of the Naga woman in front of him, who was only about twelve or thirteen years old, he immediately fell into deep in thought,
About five minutes later, Ryan had already conceived a set of magic tattoos in his mind based on the body shape and physical fitness of the Blood Dance member in front of him. He pointed at the table aside, and another dark elf, Helena, quickly Respectfully, he picked up the plate with a variety of magic tools and brought it to his side. Ryan's fingers slid over the multiple magic drawing tools, and he quickly selected a mithril paintbrush with an undersea style. This kind of paint pen is made entirely of mithril. Its interior is hollow and can hold some magic ink. It is also convenient to use.
"There may be some pain, and of course itching is inevitable. If you feel you can't bear it, it's okay to scream, but don't move around. Understand." Ryan said to the Naga girl in front of him in a kind voice,
The Naga girl did not speak, but her face was full of determination. No matter how Ryan drew and engraved magic circles and magic spells on her body, skin and scales, she gritted her teeth and remained silent, just like before. His companions are exactly the same,
About an hour later, Ryan slowly put down the tool in his hand. When Sophie saw that he had finished, she whispered: "You go and take a rest first. I will take you to familiarize yourself with the newly acquired power in a while."
"This is the last one." Ryan took the water handed over by Helena and drank it in one gulp.
"Yes, we have trained a total of 200 people in the past few months, but in the end only these 20 people were able to pass the test. Unfortunately, we had too little time, otherwise..." Sophie replied,
"Okay, I think it's pretty good. Siassi is just starting out after all. Having such 20 personal maids is enough. It's not like we have to charge them into battle. As long as they are trustworthy, agile and tight-lipped, that's enough." Ryan He stood up and said: "Actually, the most important thing about safety is to rely on yourself. Even a legendary guard cannot protect her forever."
"If there is enough time, it is not impossible to train a group of assassins." The real dark elf Helisna said: "Master, our family has specially trained assassins. If it is a big family, it will even train assassins." A legendary level strongman does not rely on this kind of trickery, but a real strongman who fights out of corpses."
"I know, in fact, these first batch of Blood Dance members can only be used for transition." Ryan nodded and replied: "The magic tattoos on their bodies are very simple, just to give them some means of self-protection. , Well, it’s okay anyway, let’s go see how well they master the new power... "
"Teacher, teacher." Siassi's hurried voice came in, interrupting Ryan's words, and then Siassi's figure broke into the room. When she saw Ryan, she immediately said: "Come and see, We are in Findayala, we are in Findayala.”
"What's all the fuss about? It's just a city." Ryan seemed to enjoy scolding Siassi very much. He waved his sleeves and said, "You are now the patriarch of one of the top ten families. Be polite and measured, and be careful with your words... Hey, hey, what are you trying to do with me before I finish talking?"
Siassi tugged on the sleeves of Ryan's robe and hurried outside. At the same time, she said: "Come and see, this city is so big. I have never seen such a big city."
Under Siassi's tugging, Ryan soon appeared in the command room of the battleship. Passing through the lookout port and passing through the faint magic barrier, Ryan saw the "huge" city outside at a glance. , the word "huge" is actually not suitable to be used in this place, because everything Ryan can see is all the big and small buildings in this city, and there is no end in sight.
Since Ryan arrived a little late, it was impossible to observe the entire layout of Findayala at this time, because the battleship had already begun to move towards the city on the bottom of the sea, and the scene in front of him began to magnify infinitely. , but the entire warship continued to sail for more than 20 minutes and still did not actually enter the port of call. It only allowed Ryan to see the general situation of the port in the distance more clearly.
This is a port comparable to half of Fernando City. Different from Eberston's tunnel-like method, the battleship Ryan was riding on actually passed directly through the magic barrier and approached. Ryan observed carefully and found that Every docking point in this port has a double-layered magic barrier. Their warships first pass through the opened barrier on the first layer, then wait for the magic barrier behind them to close before passing through the opened barrier on the second layer. , and finally slowly landed on the pier,
"This is one of the twenty-seven ports in Findayala. It is the second largest port dedicated to military ships." Tisilis's voice came from behind. Ryan turned around and saw that she and Faras were both coming,
"We have to disguise ourselves. After all, this battleship has nothing to do with us in name." Seeing Ryan looking at her, Tisilis said, "Although the entire battleship has been replaced by my subordinates, there is no need to I am worried that they will leak the secret, but at this delicate moment, I believe that the entire Findayala is full of hidden sentries arranged by my opponents to monitor whether I will arrive early."
"You make arrangements." Ryan said lightly. He moved his eyes to the lookout and began to observe the nearby environment. The military port they were in now could at least dock more than 500 warships at the same time. According to one Calculating that the average battleship can accommodate 1,000 people, I am afraid that half a million troops can be dispatched here alone at one time. This is indeed a very possible number.
As for Findayala, the capital of the Naga Empire, according to Tisilis, the total number of people living here exceeds 200 million. Although this is less than five thousandths of the total population of the Naga people, this is absolutely In terms of value, it is an amazing number, because the entire human race is only a few tens of millions. It can be said that the city of Naga exceeds the sum of humans, dwarves, elves, orcs, etc., and the troops stationed here are also There are more than one million people. As for the specific number of legendary level powerhouses, it is unclear. However, based on human proportions, Ryan estimates that there should be more than a hundred people. It can be said that Findayala is the strongest in the entire Naga Empire. Large cities are veritable symbols of empire,
Of course, this city was not so huge at the beginning. When the Nagas settled here as their capital, they built multiple military fortresses on all sides of the capital. However, after countless years of expansion, those military fortresses that were once far away from the city It was actually wrapped up in the city that was expanding year by year. Not only that, the entire city slowly merged with other cities during the expansion, and finally became so huge.
Since there was not a perfect plan at the beginning of the construction, the layout of the entire Findayala is not very neat and symmetrical. It is divided into five parts. The center is the Naga Palace. The Naga Queen lives here, and it is also the most heavily defended area in the entire city. The business district is closely connected with the villa area where the rich and powerful live, and is located in the west of the city. As for the civilian areas where ordinary people live, it is located in In the eastern part of the city, just from this point of view, we can clearly understand the huge gap between the nobles and civilians in this empire. As for the slave area, which is located in a remote corner and covers the largest area, it is responsible for this The city provides all the supplies needed, but the people living there are not counted in the total population of 200 million, because the slaves there are replaced so quickly that the last batch of slaves often arrive within a few months. Most of them were lost, and more slaves had to be recruited, and the warship Ticelis and the others were on was routinely responsible for transporting such slaves to Findayala.
