My two-dimensional resident

"Erza..."

In Erza's pure eyes, Illya saw sincerity, without a trace of ulterior motive. She truly hadn't expected that Erza, whom she had only known for half a day, would already consider her her best friend.

"Ahem! I'm full. I'm going to take a stroll around your desolate island! You don't need to follow me!"

Despite her mature mind, Illya had never met someone who was completely selfless and devoted to her. Staring at Erza with such earnest eyes, a blush crept onto Illya's fair face.

Chapter Fifty-Six: Regarding the matter of building a house, some people want to have a son on top of a son.

Unable to handle this kind of friendship, she chose to run away first.

"Sister Ilya!"

"Let her go... Ilya has never had any peers around her since she was little. Now that she's met such a good friend like you, she needs some time to calm down and adjust to this friendship!"

Erza wanted to chase after him, but Lin Tian grabbed her arm, shook his head at her, and explained.

"Really? So Ilya-neechan already considers me a comrade! That's wonderful!"

Upon hearing this, Erza lowered her head, somewhat disappointed, but quickly smiled again, because she understood Lin Tian's words.

"Hercules, I can tell you definitively that in this Holy Grail War, no matter what choices you and your Master Illya make, the final outcome will be death. You..."

“I am not afraid of death. To die in war is what I, as a warrior, have always pursued. That is why I joined Valhalla after becoming Hercules.”

"Lin Tian, ​​I'm aware of your conversation with the Master. Since you invited her to become an islander, I imagine you don't want her to die in this Holy Grail War, right?"

Lin Tian wanted to spoil the ending of the Holy Grail War and tried to persuade Hercules to join the island, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Hercules sitting opposite him.

'He truly is a great hero from Greek mythology, possessing both wisdom and martial prowess. He already sensed what I was about to do.'

Listening to Hercules' words, Lin Tian focused his gaze and frowned as he looked at the Heroic Spirit who had regained his rationality.

"You want me to help her become the victor in this Holy Grail War?"

"No, I just thought that if Ilya were to die in battle, you could protect her from being captured by other enemies. You already know the outcome of this Holy Grail War and the function of the Lesser Grail."

This means you are aware of Illya's role in the Holy Grail War.

Your island is peculiar; even the Olympian palace of the Father God and the Hall of Heroes could not suppress my power, but it could.

I believe that with an island like this, you can certainly protect Ilya's life.

His chiseled, dark face revealed an expression completely different from before.

After Hercules arrived on the island and regained his sanity, he kept thinking about the Holy Grail War. He was very strong, but his Master was his Achilles' heel.

Ilya is a powerful magician, but not a skilled warrior. Knowing this, her enemies will undoubtedly try to exploit her weaknesses to defeat her.

He wasn't afraid of failure, but he didn't want Ilya to die in this Holy Grail War.

He also grew up without a father's love, and he could see his past self in Ilya.

This was also the main reason why he asked Lin Tian to protect Ilya.

“Even if you don’t say it, we will. When you came to this island, it was destined that we would be bound together by the threads of fate. You want to have the honor of a warrior, I will not stop you. As for Ilya’s safety, I will do everything I can to help.”

Lin Tian is determined to transform the adorable Rabbit Island into a paradise, an ideal land far removed from the hustle and bustle of the world. He will never allow his residents to repeat the mistakes of the past and embark on a path of death.

Whether it's Illya or Ace, he will do everything he can to make them stronger, to help them break free from the shackles of fate, and to help them live and achieve their dreams.

Lin Tian's sincere words of selfless protection for the island's residents seemed to have touched the island's will.

Ding!

As soon as he finished speaking, a task message appeared on his phone. Just as Lin Tian was about to check it, the message automatically echoed in his mind.

"Please fulfill your promise to Hercules! The valiant and mighty Hercules, pitying Illyasviel's tragic life, hopes that the adorable Rabbit Island owner can help Illyasviel escape the cage of misfortune... After fulfilling the promise, the adorable Rabbit Island owner will gain Hercules' friendship..."

'this...'

Lin Tian remained expressionless, but his mind was already stunned by this sudden mission.

This was the first mission he had received via mobile phone since arriving on the island, which meant that it was a mission directly sent to Lin Tianxia by the island's will through his mobile phone.

This alone is enough to demonstrate the undeniable importance of this mission.

'It seems Ilya's life is in grave danger!'

Lin Tian stared intently at Hercules, a strange light flashing in his pupils. This caused Hercules' pupils to contract, and Lin Tian's image was firmly imprinted into his soul.

"Haha! Now that I've become Hercules, this is the first time I've met someone as selfless as you. I admire you! Cheers!"

Although he was merely an avatar of Hercules in Greek mythology, he had encountered and interacted with countless people throughout the ages. But Lin Tian before him was a type of person he couldn't fathom.

The man before me possessed a powerful island and unfathomable strength, yet he had no ambition and no desire for power.

But he possessed an undeniable charisma, and Hercules believed that Lin Tian, ​​with such charisma, would never stoop to lying to him.

He had promised himself that he would protect Ilya, and he would definitely do so.

'It's so great to have a brother like that!'

While Hercules was talking to Lin Tian, ​​Erza, who had overheard some inside information on the beach, kept a close eye on Lin Tian, ​​silently hoping that her brother Lin Tian would agree to the dark-skinned uncle's request.

She was the happiest person after Lin Tian agreed to Hercules' request.

"cheers!"

Cheers!

Although Ace and Kikyo didn't know what fate awaited Illya and Hercules, Lin Tian's answer reflected their own thoughts.

'Lin Tian is indeed a trustworthy person! I must assist him well and manage this island effectively!'

'If I had someone like Lin Tian on my ship, I'd probably become the Pirate King very easily!'

The group raised their beers and drinks, inviting everyone to enjoy a good drink.

"Little K, how many Bells will it cost to upgrade our tent to a red brick house? I'd like to settle all the fees together!"

After toasting with Hercules, Lin Tian didn't forget his main purpose and turned to look apologetically at the little Hercules he had neglected.

"Lin Tianli, the house upgrade fee for each person is 100000 Bells. Adding the previous island entry fees for Erza and Illya, the total is 580000 Bells."

As long as he could receive the money, Xiao Ke didn't care that Lin Tian was still treating him as a background character. Seeing Lin Tian's thoughtful expression, Xiao Ke guessed that Island Master Lin Tian would definitely take out the money directly.

'Five hundred and eighty thousand? That's so much!!!'

"Hmm... Kikyo, Ace. How many Bells do you two have now?"

Lin Tian has earned a lot of Bells these past few days because he caught a lot of rare insects.

He only has 325600 Bells now, down from 340100 before. But he spent 10,000 Bells planting the Money Tree this morning, 5,000 Bells completing the Noctos Mileage mission, and also bought drinks, so he only has this much left.

Chapter Fifty-Seven: Don't Ask! The Answer is Magic! But what's more powerful than magic?

"I have 93,000 here!"

"I have 77,000!"

After listening to their reports, Lin Tianchu did a quick calculation and realized they only had a little over 490,000 Bells. This was far from enough to pay the entire house upgrade fee in one go.

Lin Tian frowned, beginning to consider the prerequisites for upgrading the service hall. It only required upgrading the houses of three residents. But he was the island owner, not a resident. So...

"Xiao Ke, can I not upgrade my tent for now? That way it will only cost 480,000."

Just as Lin Tian finished speaking, Erza stood up and interrupted him, her face anxious and her young face showing an unusually serious expression.

"No! How can brother live in a tent forever? I don't want to upgrade my tent. I want to live with Kikyo-neechan forever! Kikyo-neechan, can I stay with you forever?"

"Little Erza..."

"Lin Tian, ​​Erza is right! Let her live with me. I don't think you'd want Erza to be alone in an empty room, would you?"

Lin Tian spoke again, but was interrupted by Kikyo once more.

"I see... I didn't think this through. Little Erza, you misunderstood. Upgrading your house isn't for you to live alone. But what you said makes sense; your house really doesn't need upgrading right now."

With Ilya, we have enough slots for upgrading the house.

However, I've decided not to upgrade my tent yet. We have a surplus of 100,000 coins to use for bridge construction. I think with so many of us, we should be able to collect the remaining materials from the shop within the next day or two.

As for the materials and bells for the arena, we can only rely on everyone's joint efforts to collect them all within the next four or five days.

"Lin Tian!"

"elder brother!"

Kikyo and Erza tried to stop Lin Tian from making his decision, but Lin Tian waved his hand, indicating that his mind was made up!

"Don't worry, Erza, Kikyo. Once my house is upgraded, Lin Tian can live with me!"

As the captain of the Spade Pirates, Ace respected Lin Tian's decision. To reassure the two girls, he put down his wine glass and confidently patted his chest.

"Get out! I'm not staying here!"

Seeing Ace's "ambiguous" gaze, Lin Tian felt a chill run down his spine and quickly took out an apple and threw it at him to shut him up.

"Krystal, how's it going? We're not upgrading Erza's and my tent for now. Will that affect the construction of the administration hall?"

"Hmm... Lin Tianli, upgrading the rooms is a personal decision. And building the service hall only requires upgrading the tents of three residents into houses."

Are you really going to choose not to upgrade your and Erza's room?

He lost 200,000, but Xiao Ke wasn't upset at all. After all, Lin Tian and Erza would upgrade the house sooner or later, and the 200,000 would still end up in his hands.

As the island's chief steward, Xiao Ke respected Lin Tian's decision.

"That's fine! Ace, give me the bells you have!"

"Ok!"

How could the island's owner not have his own rights?! Before speaking with Xiao Ke, Lin Tian already understood that as long as he didn't violate the island's hard rules, Xiao Ke, as the island's representative of the will, would definitely agree to his conditions.

After putting the Bell purse Ace handed him into his spatial backpack, Lin Tian's Bell balance immediately jumped to over 410,000. He then took out a bag containing 380,000 Bells and handed it to Klein.

After receiving the bell money from Lin Tian, ​​Xiao Ke's smile grew even wider. His originally adorable raccoon appearance began to resemble that of a shrewd fox.

"Lin Tianli, the house upgrade and island entry fees have been settled. Please wait patiently. Tomorrow morning, your tents will be upgraded to red brick houses. You don't need to worry tonight; just sleep in your tents. The house upgrade process will not disturb your rest."

"Is it really that amazing, Little K! What kind of magic is this?"

Hearing that the tent could turn into a house in just one night without disturbing their sleep, Erza assumed it was some kind of powerful and mysterious magic, and asked with great curiosity.
