Chapter 312: Talent Vacancy (Part 2)
"Master, all the undead I made were on the boat and were not sent ashore. The three kings are here, but they are free labor." The Winged Skeleton smiled with bad intentions. He and Nelise had been together for a long time, and even their conversations were filled with Nelise's shadow.
Salin was in a much better mood. The three kings were still strong enough to summon a large number of undead spirits, which once made up for the lack of defense in Metatlin City. Now that Rex's people are coming, the Caucasians of Sika have settled down here and recruited a large number of soldiers. The undead spirits have become laborers for building cities, which are much more useful than slaves.
Shika, don’t know how Shika is doing?
Thinking of Shika, Salin was not so anxious. Shika rarely worried, and there was nothing earth-shaking about the things she was worried about. It was just to get more food for the Caucasians to spend the winter. On the contrary, Shika always maintained a normal mentality in matters.
This is the best attitude to live a person. His anxiety is because of the lack of human hearts. If he has so much, he still has to worry, so he will never be satisfied. Salin thought to himself, and a smile appeared on his face.
It is right to fight for it, but if you lose yourself for the sake of your goal, you will not be a magician.
"Sarin, are you still worried about the lack of talents?" After arriving in Metatrium City safely, Ferret was also very happy and spoke easily. He knew that he had a lot of things. The elders of Holy Rock City were confused for a moment and let him run out. Now he must regret it. However, when he arrived in Metatrium City, the old guys had no choice.
"Yes, Uncle Ferret, soldiers are powerful undeads, and can solve the problem of warships for me, but I cannot turn my city into a city of undead. There were only a few easy-to-use people I collected back then, and the rest, alas..."
"How many people are now in Metatriline?"
"I don't know either. Those who came to settle down had already exceeded 200,000 when they left."
Feilet was shocked by this number. It is rare to build a city with more than 10,000 people. Generally, a new city can only have more than 10,000 settled populations after three or five years of construction. In a year when Metatrim City is built, there will be more than 200,000 settled people!
"Master, the latest record on the town hall now is 340,000 settled population, which does not include the nobles who came to take refuge and their private lords."
Qin Yin nobles generally attached great importance to the ruler's people, because there were few nobles who oppressed civilians. These nobles would also have a large number of ruler's followers in trouble. Many of the nobles of Phoenix and Galloran had already defected to Rex. Under Rex's instructions, some of them simply defected to Metatlin City.
These nobles brought a lot of leaders, and Rex helped Salin to grant land one by one. The winter here was long and extremely cold, and farmers could barely plant one by one, but the agricultural output of this season exceeded that of the south for two seasons. So although life was difficult, the farmers were satisfied and were willing to continue to follow the invading nobles.
This group of people, but the real farmers and farming skills are like powerful mages, are rare wealth. The few of these nobles brought more than a dozen farmers, and the most were followed by nearly a thousand households. The number of these farmers is probably over 100,000. To the north of Metatlin City, a large area of land has been rented out for temporary farming for the nobles.
These nobles took out gold coins, and the people and the dead came out of Metatlin City, and helped the nobles build many castles. Now, north and west of Metatlin City are no longer deserted fields, but a large number of villages have appeared.
Before the arrival of winter this year, farmers had already harvested a season. Because the land had not been properly managed, the grain produced was barely available, which had already made farmers very satisfied.
The nobles were also very satisfied. Shika sent Caucasians to patrol the villages. In the past six months, there have been few monsters in the past six months. Within hundreds of miles, the population has become dense. In the future, no Caucasians are needed, and the monsters will also withdraw from this field.
It can be said that the city of Metatlin is now a city that only dukes own. If the population exceeds one million, it is the size of the royal city.
"Sarin, there are more than 300,000 free people in your city. There must be many swordsmen and even magicians who come to find opportunities. Is there any official who specializes in screening skills under your city hall?"
"Yes." Salin had a clarity when he heard Fellet say this. During the Fourth Dynasty, some great nobles set up departments to select talents in the city hall, promoted the talents among the civilians, joined the army, or directly promoted them to officials. However, after the collapse of the Fourth Dynasty, the new empire had no such institutions.
Yunliu still has some remaining resources, but it is not the mainstream.
"You can do this..." Feiret lowered his voice and said a few words in Sarin's ear.
"That's fine?"
"Why not?"
"Master, setting up an arena is no big deal." The winged skeleton muttered in Salin's mind.
"A arena, arena..." Salin repeatedly muttered this word, and what appeared in his mind was the record in the magic notes.
During the Second Dynasty, the emperor had an arena, and professionals fought desperately with creatures from various planes, hoping to obtain money, titles, and honors. A hundred casualties were killed or injured every day, and the world followed suit. There were hundreds of cities in the country, and more than ten thousand casualties were injured every day.
Among these casualties, at least one-third of the professions either died on the spot or were seriously injured and would never be able to return to the arena. Those who survived do not leave early will find it difficult to survive long-term high-intensity battles. If professionals in the arena do not leave within one year, the death rate will be as high as 80%. Less than one percent of those who can still be active in the arena after three years.
Salin is now unable to find powerful creatures in various planes to place them in the arena, but he has three kings who can summon relatively powerful undeads, and Neris who can summon demons and build an arena.
Just doing this will cause unnecessary casualties.
The turtle alchemy ship entered the underwater dock and was learned by the wizard of the temple that Neris couldn't wait and rushed to the port with his men. Salin had just left the underwater dock and walked up the steps to the ground, and was hugged by Neris.
"Master, ah ha." Nelise was too strong and almost cut off Salinle.
Tris looked at Nelise, but shivered. He originally thought that he might get rid of Nelise as a great demon, but unfortunately, as soon as Nelise appeared, he found that Nelise had evolved. The fourth ability must have appeared, and Nelise's strength was still something he could not resist.
Tris lowered his head and looked only at the ground, afraid that Nelis would find out what he was thinking.
Salin pushed Neris away, coughed a few times before slapped her head hard and said, "You want to kill me? Wouldn't you be gentle?"
"Sister Sika is also holding you this one, I saw it!" Nelise was not convinced, but she didn't dare to fight back. Her strength was much stronger and she couldn't control it well, so she almost strangled Salin to death.
Salin was so blocked by Neris's words that he couldn't say anything. When he was with Shika, Neris must have peeked. Only at that time did Salin neglect and could not discover her existence.
"Where is Daniel and Zola?" Salin didn't want to bother with this issue, so he quickly changed.
"Daniel is in the town hall, so busy. Zola is training swordsmen, and at the camp. Sister Shika is there too."
"You personally take Uncle Ferrett and Aunt Lanni to your residence, arrange for them to live in first, and ask Daniel and Zola to meet me at the temple."
"Yes, master." Neris smiled and greeted Ferret and Lannie, while Salin went straight to the temple surrounded by Caucasian warriors. The three demons following Neris went to inform Zola, Daniel and Rex respectively.
When she returned to the temple, Salin didn't rest and waited for Daniel and others to come on the third floor. The first one to come back was Shika, followed by two young Caucasians. The strength of these two Caucasians improved a lot when Pisalin left. Salin saw it and was very pleased. Zola was not lazy, and the force of Metatlin City was still good.
"Sarin, you're back so soon!" Xika smiled, Salin was short of breath.
"Is it good to come back early? I originally planned to come back in March next year."
"Good breakfast, good breakfast." Shika narrowed her eyes and pulled Salin and said, "Why don't you go back to Nanyuan with me first?"
"Well... I have to tell Daniel something." Salin was embarrassed, fortunately Neris was not there.
Daniel came soon, and he was surrounded by two wizards from Srieg Island and the swordsman from Srieg Island. He followed Salin's instructions and did not need to recruit new people around him.
"Master!"
"Ha, Daniel, do you have level 6?" Salin saw Daniel's full of energy. Although the Elemental Eye could not see through the level of the Necromancer, he could see that Daniel's approximate strength was more than twice as long as he left. This could only be a sign of becoming a level 6 Necromancer.
"Yes, I'm busy with the city hall, and I've practiced less, but I've advanced, which I didn't expect." Daniel Bisalin was much older, and suddenly advanced was a great joy for him. After the necromancer reached the magician stage, the advancement was slower than the elemental mage. Only the earlier he advanced, the more likely he could reach level nine.
"Daniel, next, you have to separate the matters in the city hall, just focus on the main things. Practice with peace of mind."
"Lord, there is not enough manpower!"
"There are magic apprentices in the city, and some are recruited and Rex's people are trained. Without soldiers and officers, we can also start recruiting. By the way, I plan to build an arena and allocate funds."
"arena?"
"Well, Judy Coco and the other three are too idle now. Find something for them to do so... or not cause trouble for me."
Salin said this and his determination was made.
