Soon, President Massa arranged for the people to search for the ship's mage and returned to the deck of the "Lucky Owen", so Shado asked him about the situation at the Sevington Council.
"Sir, the council is convening the citizens for you. When I went over to inquire yesterday, they said that more than 400 people had been summoned, and I also heard good news!"
"Huh? What's the good news?" Xia Duo asked curiously.
Some time ago, he would occasionally go to the general office in Severington to see how the citizens were summoned. The last time he went there, the staff there said that more than 300 people had been summoned. If there was an emergency, he could go first
Transport away.
But the fleet hadn't arrived at that time, so how could we transport people?
As for the good news, he didn't deliberately ask about it. In his opinion, getting 500 people for nothing was considered good news.
"grown ups--"
Massa suddenly lowered his voice and even looked around cautiously before replying, "I asked at the parliament that there was a new group of craftsman slaves recently. I checked up and down and put those craftsmen in
It’s on the list of new citizens.”
Huh--
What good news!
Xia Duo looked Massa up and down. Sure enough, he started out in the slave business and could find a way anywhere!
However, there may be some hidden dangers in this matter. After thinking about it, Xia Duo asked again: "Do you know the identities of those craftsman slaves? Why did they become slaves?"
"Sir, it's like this -" Massa did not dare to hesitate and immediately explained: "Due to the previous military operation in the underground passage, the parliament recruited a group of craftsmen from the territory of the Seven Towers Group, but some people heard that they might often
They stationed themselves there, and would often encounter underground monsters, so they immediately regretted it, and the Grand Arcanist was furious, so those people became slaves."
"That's it!"
Xia Duo understood the cause and effect. Although he did not understand the brain circuits of those craftsmen, it was obvious that since they all accepted the call, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if they went back on their word the next time?
Even if it was forced by the Parliament, the people who should have resisted would have resisted long ago. There is no need to start resisting until Severington.
"Have you met those people? Who are the specific craftsmen?"
"I've seen it! Sir, you know what I did for a living before. I guarantee that those people are all real craftsmen. There are 5 blacksmiths and 3 stonemasons. They are all in their prime. One of the stonemasons is said to have participated in the construction of the mage tower."
Um--
As soon as he heard that there were masons who had participated in the construction of the mage tower, Xia Duo immediately became energetic and quickly issued an order, "You don't have to wait for the 500 people to be full, go to the council now and complete the handover!"
In fact, not only stonemasons, but also blacksmiths are urgently needed in the territory. Although iron ore has not yet been discovered in the territory, with blacksmiths, at least some of the iron tools in the territory can be repaired by themselves in the territory, without the need to send them to Savile Territory, which is time-consuming.
It's laborious and expensive.
After hearing this, Massa responded and immediately turned around and left.
…
On the deck, Xia Duo watched Massa leave with a group of crew members and soldiers. When he turned his eyes, he happened to find four people dressed as mages, following the steward sent by Massa before and walking towards the fleet.
Those should be the mages employed by the four chambers of commerce, including Hans, Slavin, Flash Gold, and Liaton!
One of them had gray hair, and his legs seemed to be a little awkward when walking, and his robe was clearly embroidered with a spellcasting level certification pattern commonly used by the mage union.
The Mage Guild is nominally a subordinate organization of the Arcane Federation, but in essence, it is the product of the encirclement of some wandering mages from various places who are neither high nor low.
If you had a little bit of ambition, you would have joined the Mage Tower long ago.
Xia Duo has also gone through the so-called spellcasting level certification before, so he naturally understands the tricks involved. He himself has even been promoted. As long as he pays money, he can be certified to a level higher than the mage responsible for the certification.
.
It's interesting that many chambers of commerce recruit mage advisors. When escorting, they don't look at actual abilities, but at spellcasting level.
Xia Duo thought about it carefully, and he recognized the certification pattern, level 6. The old mage's spellcasting level was actually level 6!
However, as far as he knows, these four mages are all junior mages!
Isn’t this a blatant forgery of “academic qualifications”?
Moreover, I still carry my fake academic qualifications on my chest anytime and anywhere, as if I am afraid that others will not know.
Just as they were thinking about it, the four mages, together with the steward of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce who came back to find them, had already boarded the boat, came to Sha Duo, saluted respectfully, and called, "Sir!"
"Everyone is a spell caster, so there is no need to be polite."
Looking at these four somewhat reserved mages, Xia Duo first said politely, and then asked: "Captain Owen said that when you came here, you encountered a group of fish-man robbers at Lake Macht. Let me ask you, what happened to that group of fish-men?"
Are there any spellcasters among the human robbers?”
"Yes, one of the murlocs can give other murlocs an accelerated state. However, murlocs are very flexible in the water, so it is not easy to see." The old mage was the first to speak.
The other mages also nodded. Xia Duo did not speak, but looked at Old Owen. Old Owen thought for a moment and said with some uncertainty, "Sir, the fishmen I met this time seem to be better than those I have encountered before.
It’s much more flexible.”
"I understand. You should be busy and rest when you should. The council informed me after the handover was completed."
With that said, Xia Duo took out two communication scrolls and handed them to the old mage who just spoke, "Don't worry about how to use them, just stimulate them."
"Yes." The old mage took the communication scroll respectfully and put it into his dimensional bag.
Seeing that there were no problems here for the time being, Xia Duo planned to go back to Giles Tower to deal with some final matters before returning to the territory.
As for the fishmen, Xia Duo is not too worried. For ordinary people, even mages, the fishmen underwater may be difficult to deal with, but for Xia Duo, who has the bloodline ability of [Water Control], the fishmen are very difficult to deal with.
Not difficult to deal with.
Even though he is a murloc caster, he does not think that the murlocs in Lake Macht are stronger than the murlocs in the [Blue Crystal Plane] that can summon elemental creatures.
This time he planned to return with the boat and take a good look at the scenery along the way. It would be a rare long journey so far. By the way, he could also clean up the fishmen in Lake Macht.
The territory will have to transport people in the future. If there are always fishmen entrenched in the places that must be passed through, then he will not worry. If he is a fishman, just "turn into the wind + cut the ship" without having to fight hard.
It can defeat most fleets.
Although the murlocs lack suitable weapons and tools, they still have to take precautions. After all, intelligent creatures will always find ways to obtain tools, so it is better to clean them regularly.
