Chapter 106 I would like to ask: Is it reasonable that freshwater murlocs cannot live in seawater?
Back at the castle, Clermont formulated a series of incentive policies based on the current status of the people, with the purpose of stimulating their yearning for a better life.
This includes the construction of various entertainment venues and the introduction of various elite talents, such as tavern dancers, foreign singers, etc.
Although the citizens of the early territory may not be able to afford consumption, it is good to attract various mercenary adventurers here. After all, whoever makes money will make money. As long as the citizens can see the life of rich people, they will
It will roll up naturally.
The next day, under the witness of Clement, the Dominican flight station led by Clement launched the first flight of Arachne.
Although only one landing platform has been built, the flight station is already operational.
This trip was transporting various specialties accumulated in the Claremont Territory over the years, including unique mushrooms, dried fruits, magic medicines from the Gnans Forest, as well as various aquatic products from the western sea.
Since it was shipped to Santa Cruz, Clemente also fulfilled his previous promise.
"Elton, you study hard this time. Take this letter with you. When you arrive in Santa Cruz, go to 108 Warsaw Street to find Count Nehemiah and give him the letter. He will arrange for you to enroll in school.
If you encounter any difficulties at school, you can also come to him and he will help you!"
Taking the letter from the lord, Elton, who was carrying his luggage, shed tears of emotion. He recalled that six months ago, he was still a slave who could be bullied by anyone. Now he not only became the financial officer of the territory, but also was able to enter the territory.
Studying at Imperial Business College.
And all of this was given by the great lord. Now, even if the lord asked him to die, he would not hesitate to take out the dagger and kill himself.
A grown man looked at him with tears in his eyes, and Clemont always felt like his whole body was on fire.
"Don't worry, Baron. Although Viscount Dominic is not a powerful nobleman, he still has certain abilities in Santa Cruz. If Mr. Financial Officer encounters any problems, I believe he will help."
Moulton said aloud.
Clemont nodded upon hearing this.
"I have remembered the friendship at the flight station. There are gifts prepared by me in this cargo. I will thank him for me when the time comes!"
Clement would not have believed that the flight station could operate so quickly without the instruction of Viscount Dominic.
Therefore, courtesy should be reciprocated, and Clement did not want to owe others any favors.
"Okay, Your Excellency Baron!"
As Elton and others boarded the cabin on Arachne's back, Arachne in front of her spread out her huge wings, ran a few steps and then jumped into the sky, accompanied by a strong wind, straight into the sky.
The other two followed closely behind.
Looking at Arachne walking away, Clement touched his chin.
Now we just wait for Arachne to return from this trip. By then, once the fine iron purchased from Wagner is in place, the city guard's standard armor will also be available.
Although we got a lot of deep sea iron from the Sea Clan last time, it was only enough to arm a hundred personal guards, and the city guards formed later couldn't even drink soup.
This also caused Harry to keep complaining in front of him during this period.
According to the configuration of other noble territories, only the elite knights would be equipped with iron armor, while the personal guards and city guards would only be equipped with leather armor.
Firstly, leather armor is cheaper and easier to repair. Secondly, there has been no war in the Ota Empire for a long time, and the troops guarding the territory do not need to be equipped with expensive armor.
Like the last time when the Bach Sea Tribe invaded, most of the baron's troops didn't even have leather armor.
However, just because they don't value the army doesn't mean that Clement doesn't value it either. The awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace has long been engraved in his bones.
Because he knows very well that city defense construction is the foundation for a territory to become stronger.
This is why he started building a new city wall as soon as he made some money in the territory.
A week flies by in the blink of an eye.
This week, the construction of the new urban area has been rapid. With the efforts of the two brothers Gordon and Abel, a large number of houses have been erected in the empty southern area.
However, these houses are only rough prototypes and need to undergo further refinement before they can be moved in.
The trial training of the Knights is also going smoothly. After the oath-taking ceremony tomorrow, the Knights of Fury will be officially established.
The first trip to Arachne also came back in the evening of the next day, but what surprised Clermont was that in addition to fine iron and various building materials, the cargo he brought back also included nearly two hundred fish-men slaves.
These fish-human slaves are a little shorter than humans and a bit ugly in appearance. Overall, they are very similar to the ordinary Bach sea people we have seen before. The only difference is probably the color of their bodies.
Because these fishmen live in freshwater waters, their skin is bluish.
According to the letter from Viscount Dominic, this is a gift entrusted by His Highness Dria from Dominic Flight Station to Clermont.
For this reason, in the letter, Dominic even flattered Clement a few words intentionally or unintentionally, but Clement understood that these fish-man slaves were sent by Her Royal Highness Princess Cynthia.
Looking at these ugly creatures, Clemont decided to send them to the fishing grounds in the western sea.
However, this idea was quickly rejected by Old Barr, because these murlocs are freshwater murlocs, and if they enter seawater, they will dehydrate and die over time.
'So, is dehydration also useful for magical creatures like fish-men?'
Clemont couldn't help but torture his soul.
After that, the whereabouts of these fishmen became a headache for Clemont.
This was something given to him by Her Highness Cynthia. It was impossible to sell it, but it could not be sent to the seaside fishing ground, and the only fresh water in the territory was a small river that was only half a person deep.
This small river is the only water source in the territory, and it is impossible for these fishmen to live in it, so in the end, Claymont decided to temporarily build a pond for them to live in.
To this end, Claremont also requisitioned the earth magician brought by Moulton. After repeated subsidence operations, a circular man-made lake with a radius of 100 meters appeared in the southwest of Claremont City.
on the plain,
This is the lower reaches of the river, so there will be no psychological discomfort if water is brought in from here.
Seeing this lake specially built for them, these murloc slaves were mumbling something, and the expressions on their faces seemed very excited.
"Chi...lu...acridine...hoo..." The strong fish-man headed by him crawled at Clemont's feet and said something in a steady tone.
Listening to this gibbering language, everyone present stared with wide eyes. Even Clemont, who has expertise in the Sea Clan language, could not understand.
Fortunately, Raymond copied the fish-man language from a fish-man, and after asking again, he understood what the fish-man meant.
It probably means that his name is Fitz, and he is the leader of this fishman tribe. He is very grateful to the new owner for giving them a suitable living environment. Before they came here, they had not lived in the water for more than a month. They are now
They are very weak and hope their great new owners can give them some food if possible.
Although Clemont dislikes such ugly creatures, after all, they are his own property, so he cannot let them starve to death!
Moreover, these fishmen gave him a big gift in return, and this request was not too much at all!
