Madam Vasaki's eyes lit up, and she chuckled. "Clever fellow, I won't beat around the bush." She sat up straight, and her expression became more serious. "I just need your space ring …"
"No!" Many immediately replied.
"What's the hurry?
I haven't finished speaking. "Vasaki was both annoyed and amused by Many's resolute expression. She continued," I mean, I need your space ring for help.
You've seen for yourself that the living conditions of my tribesmen are very poor, and it's basically impossible for us to go to the surface. If we're discovered, almost everyone on the continent will come after us. Although the living conditions in this underground city are harsh, it doesn't mean that Medusa can't survive. "
Vasaki paused, and her expression became much more serious.
"It's just that our living conditions are getting worse because of the population problem, and your space ring can effectively solve these problems!
In the past, 99% of the gold coins I sold in Karo City were used on the magical crystals used to transport daily necessities and raw materials here. It can be said that the transportation alone is an astronomical figure. As these goods require too many magical crystals to be transported, I even caused fluctuations in the magical crystal market in Karo City a few times. You can imagine my situation. "
Many nodded, involuntarily imagining himself risking his life to earn five gold coins, only to have to spend four and a half gold coins to repair his damaged weapon.
Seeing that Many were nodding, Vasaki knew that her words were effective. She continued, "With your space ring, the consumption of magical crystals per teleportation is even negligible compared to the value of the goods being transported. This way, I can effectively solve the problem of my tribesmen starving."
Seeing that Many wanted to say something, Vasaki waved her hand and interrupted them. She said in a business-like tone, "As for the reward, be it gold coins or equipment, I will do it according to your request. It's fine as long as you can save my tribesmen."
Many shut their mouths. Actually, he didn't want to mention the reward, but since Madam Vasaki had said so, why should he decline?
A gentleman loved money, and there was nothing wrong with taking the money for his own work.
However, Many understood her eagerness to save her tribesmen. After some consideration, he uncrossed his fingers and sat up straight. He asked, "I understand Madam's sincerity, but I would like to ask how often do you need my help?"
Many used honorifics and didn't mention the reward, which made Madam Vasaki approve of him even more. Hearing his question, Madam Vasaki thought for a while, and said, "If you can pack as much as you did today, once every three months, how about that?"
Many nodded without hesitation. In his opinion, it didn't matter even if he didn't ask for the reward. Of course, as long as he could eat meat and drink wine, he naturally wouldn't refuse. After all, he disdained taking advantage of others when they were in trouble. As a man, Many naturally had an indescribable sense of righteousness. Although he would take advantage of small matters, he had his own beliefs.
Madam Vasaki seemed to have expected that Many would agree so readily. There wasn't much joy on her face, but her relaxed brows and the trace of joy in her eyes didn't hide how happy she was.
Swaying her tail gently, Madam Vasaki got up, bowed to Many, and said very solemnly, "Many, your decision has saved many people. It won't be long before you find out what a right thing you've done. I'm here, on behalf of my people, to thank you!"
Many was overwhelmed by the favor and immediately stood up to support Madam Vasaki. He understood how sincere Madam Vasaki's actions were. As he helped her up, he said, "What are you doing, Madam?
It's only a slight effort on my part. "
Who knew if this was the right thing to do?
However, Many didn't think too much about it. He just acted according to his own conscience. Whether he was doing a good deed or becoming Mr. Dongguo, Many could only leave it to fate.
Madam Vasaki didn't say anything. After being helped up by Many, she only smiled faintly. However, the profound look in her eyes made Many feel as if she had seen through all of his thoughts.
"Well, we're done with our business. It's time to deal with those goods. If I remember correctly, your elf friend still has a mission waiting for you to complete together, right?" Madam Vasaki waved her hand, gesturing for Lot to follow her, and then walked out of the room.
The two of them arrived at an empty space nearby, and Many quickly laid out the mountainous pile of goods. Madam Vasaki looked at the boxes with a joyful expression.
From her point of view, these were the things that could save her tribesmen!
Only the heavens knew how much effort she had put in for her tribesmen over the past few centuries.
Ever since she was an orphan with a lowly status, Madam Vasaki had always painstakingly studied the magic recorded in her tribe, meditating all day to improve her power. Due to the harsh conditions under which she lived, she was almost abandoned by the tribe leader at the time when she was starving. In the end, Vasaki relied on her extraordinary power to rise to the position of tribe leader amidst a sea of bloodshed. She then fully utilized the strengths of the Medusa Tribe, gradually saving her tribesmen from the brink of extinction.
Countless nights had she wept like a helpless little girl in her tribe leader's stone house, hating herself for not being able to do better?
Why were there still tribesmen dying of illness on their cold stone beds?
Wiping away her tears, she continued to carve the magic arrays on the clothes. She transformed into a human and wore a mask all day long, working hard to sell the clothes that seemed expensive but were actually not profitable at all.
It had to be said that Vasaki had worked hard for the right of her tribesmen to survive all her life, and she had indeed done it. She had extraordinary power, but she did not dare to use it. She had relied on her own abilities to support her tribe of nearly a thousand people like an ordinary person!
Madam Vasaki believed that even though they were Medusa, who could not see the light of day on the mainland, they had the right to survive in this chaotic world!
Watching her tribesmen happily move the wooden boxes filled with dried meat and fruits to the center of the city to line up for distribution, Vasaki's eyes unwittingly became moist.
Vasaki could not help but sigh at her luck. She was able to meet Many who wore space rings at the right time and the right place. What was more precious was that Many had no prejudice against her identity and helped her without asking for anything in return. Thinking of this, she could not help but look at Many with a much gentler gaze.
However, she discovered that Many had not been idle.
After Many had distributed all the goods in his space ring, he came to the side of a paralyzed Medusa sitting on the ground. He had noticed this Medusa just now. This Medusa had white hair and was extremely thin and weak. His deep cheekbones and skinny body all indicated that his physical condition was not optimistic. His originally strong and powerful snake body was somewhat shriveled and curled up, looking very pitiful.
Many ignored the astonished gazes of the other hungry Medusa and reached out to help this' old man 'who was so hungry that he could not even stand. He silently carried the goods that had fallen on the ground and followed the other Medusa into the distance.
Madam Vasaki saw this, but no matter how many words she had to say, she did not know what to say.
Years of sorrow and bitterness finally turned into a drop of clear tears that fell to the ground.
