"I hope so. Then I won’t bother you any longer, goodbye."
The Son of Heaven also smiled, stood up with grace, made a courtesy, and bid farewell.
Watching the Son of Heaven leave the castle, Mu You too walked out.
In the distance, the Son of Heaven and his entourage were already heading towards the city edge.
Mu You didn’t pay them any mind, and his figure quietly vanished from the spot, reappearing at the edge of the city in another direction.
This was one of the powers of the City Lord, as long as he was within the range of Sky City, he could teleport to any public area at any time.
"And you? What are your plans?"
In front of Mu You at this moment, stood the mountainous Octopus King, trembling, gazing at him with anxious and reverent eyes.
During the rising process of Dawn City previously, the Underwater Prison was also brought up from the seabed.
Of course, the prisoners and octopus soldiers inside had been completely expelled by Mu You, but the Underwater Prison itself could be directly used as a prison for Sky City, saving a lot of construction materials.
As for the Octopus King, Mu You now had its heart in his control, making it his indirect subordinate, but this did not mean that Mu You could do whatever he wanted with it. Everything must have a limit, especially for such high-intelligence legendary creatures. If it was ruthlessly exploited and abused like a slave or a tool, there would definitely be no good consequence.
After pondering for a moment, Mu You looked at the Octopus King and said: "You can choose to stay in the city, or return to the sea, it’s up to you. Under normal circumstances, I won’t limit your freedom, with one exception - when Dawn City is under attack or when I personally face a crisis, you must come forward. As for other times, you are free to do as you did before, I won’t interfere."
The familiar whale melody echoed through the city. The Octopus King gave Mu You a grateful look, then its tentacles wriggled, detached from the city’s edge, and directly fell towards the sea below.
From the Octopus King’s last gaze, Mu You felt that it wasn’t just being obedient because he had its heart, but rather due to a kind of instinctual reverence for his status as the City Lord.
Along with Mu You’s previous discovery of its heart in the grass temple.
At that time, the heart was just thrown unhidden amongst the weeds, like some random object someone tossed in while passing by a window.
Mu You guessed that this Octopus King was tamed by the former Lord of Dawn City, or by some powerful fool, who cut off its heart and kept it in the city, probably as a sort of insurance for the future.
So when someone takes up the position of the City Lord, with the Lord’s authority, they can immediately sense the anomaly in the grass temple and find the heart to control the Octopus King.
Otherwise, with the emergence of Sky City, like now, in a state of ruin with almost no self-defense, it would easily attract the coveting of other races.
With the Octopus King, a powerful creature as a guard, it can greatly deter those powers with ill intentions and buy enough development time for Dawn City.
The only thing the ancestors of the fools didn’t foresee was that during the opening of the entrance, the Octopus King could send its severed arm into the city and move freely.
If Mu You hadn’t obtained the Blood of Heart Vessels before, or if he hadn’t taken control of the heart immediately upon entering the city and it had been taken by the Octopus King, then Dawn City would indeed be in danger.
Of course, if it weren’t for Mu You, the Octopus King probably wouldn’t have chased all the way to Skeleton Island and discovered the existence of the entrance.
It’s just that many things are coincidences...
Shaking his head, Mu You came back to his senses and looked at the empty city.
It seems the construction of the city will have to wait until a large number of players move in; it’s not a job a few people can do. Before heading back to Earth, he needs to go to the outskirts of the Evil Spirit Sea Area and bring back the Ghost Ship.
Now that the matters of Dawn City are finished, the Ghost Ship finally has some downtime. Mu You plans to set the route of the Ghost Ship directly to the Cook Islands.
The little girl had previously entrusted him to save someone there, Mu You still didn’t quite understand what was going on, anyway, he’ll sail the ship over there first and have a look.
But then upon further thought, Mu You suddenly realized something was wrong.
If he’s going to the Cook Islands, why does he need to sail there? He is a City Lord now, he could simply move the entire city there.
