Let me draw you a map.
Don't worry,
I know your sight is bad
I'll make it huge.
The Diamond Mountains are no mystery to me.
I know exactly what they look like, as it was shown in my dream, while flying like a bird through the sky.
It will take a bit, though, and the ink isn't for free.
Once ready, I will send a messenger. I assure you, you will find your way to the castle.
The payment is one stone of the castle, 1 litre of black ink and blue, red and yellow pigment.

I have a wheelbarrow and I'm not afraid to use it, if the map is big enough. Island in, sea out, dragons, statues that can be built with concrete, then I'm in. I can carry diamonds, books, potatoes, abandoned bottles with messages, I'm imperishable. Oh, we have pigments. If you use blue, I'm in.

You have a lot to offer but... how about green or at least yellow so I can mix my own green? Blue is already used at the top.

Let's go for the diamonds and hidden gems.
Super you are in!
