The kobold who served him the rice looked at him with a strange look at the end, but did not stop him. He still served him the rice honestly, and did not forget to tell him, "Only eat, no leftovers, and no pouring, otherwise
Punish Wang severely."
A common language with different accents and different tones, full of earnestness and solemnity.
Aqil couldn't help but asked curiously: "Is the food here on weekdays at this level?"
"This is a non-work meal, a better work meal, with more meat and delicious pancakes."
That’s it? Isn’t it the best?
Aqil couldn't help but his eyes lit up. This kind of food was not something that an average farmer's family could afford.
It can be placed on the countertop in hotels and restaurants, at least one silver coin.
This still refers to the appetite of ordinary people.
What I just ate by myself cost more than five silver coins.
"Is this enough?" Aqil asked again.
"As long as you don't waste it, you can eat it as you like." The kobold replied sternly.
Just this.
The decision to stay here didn't seem difficult to make.
Sir Gavin just promised to take care of food and housing.
"Aqil, Aqil, Aqil..." A Pixar shouted loudly while flying, "Who is Aqil Rahn?"
"I am, I am, I am." Aqil responded hurriedly.
"Temporary job, assist in registering the remaining mercenaries. The salary will be calculated according to the fixed position and salary. Follow me."
As Pixie spoke, he led Aqil forward, and soon he appeared in front of a temporary desk.
Next to the recorder who had just registered him, he was newly placed.
The recorder directly handed over a stack of forms and several pens and said: "According to the requirements of the form, just stroke it from top to bottom. Don't be fooled. This will not only affect the other party's future arrangements, but also involve
I will hold you accountable for your integrity here, because this line is used to fill in your signature, and Miss Lal will assist you next."
"Understood." Aqil is a smart man who understands everything.
Looking sideways, I saw that people and tables were being added one after another not only here, but also on the other side.
The new people added are all selected from mercenaries.
This is the point of asking if you can read and write when filling out the form.
It seems that it was not that Sir Gavin did not want to set up more record-keepers at the beginning, but that there were only a limited number of people in the territory who could write.
I spent a year's worth of gold coins to ask that wandering mage to teach me how to read and write. Now it seems that it was a wise choice.
Even among the mercenaries, not many can write. So far, they have only added eleven desks.
There was no one who chose to fight to the death rather than sign an employment contract and stayed in the sewers. After most of the mercenaries were mobilized, they all climbed up one after another and formed a long queue.
They are mercenaries who work for money and have no loyalty to begin with.
What's more, even a fool can see it.
From the beginning to the end, the merchants in Sambia treated them as cannon fodder to attract the tree people.
When the red dragon uses flame dragon breath on the tree people, it doesn't care about their life or death.
It would be a lie to say that I have no resentment.
Due to the continuous increase in manpower, the personnel counting work ended much earlier than Aqil expected.
Wait until he is freed from his job as recordkeeper.
It was discovered that the number of mercenaries had been reduced by more than half.
The files of these mercenaries can be collected and distributed at any time.
The first ones to be assigned are obviously those who are more professional or have relatively single abilities.
Especially those who are proficient in farming and construction are selected first.
The latter has allocated tools and started construction with the construction team.
Most of the people left here are warriors.
Compared with ordinary people, their value is higher, their treatment is higher, and their management will be stricter.
Aqil was eventually assigned to a long ship, and his rank was not low. He directly became the first mate and assisted the captain in his work.
A total of five mercenaries were assigned to this ship, and the rest were Tethyr immigrants.
It is estimated that other ships will also have this pattern.
Although he uses them, he also guards against them. If he wants to change this situation, he must prove his loyalty-loyalty to Sir Gavin.
There are many ways to prove loyalty.
Military exploits are just one kind.
The simplest way, Sir Gavin has already told them, is to move their family here and show their willingness to settle here.
No mercenary will do this in a short period of time.
Because doing so is very risky.
Not only because this place is in dire need, but also because it is being targeted by the group of businessmen from Sambia.
According to their understanding of this group of greedy wolves, they will not give up just because of one failure. They will try a second time, a third time, or even countless times.
Until this place is completely eaten and wiped clean.
It is not difficult for Gavin to temporarily hire them, but turning them into new residents of the Three Rivers Land is not a task that can be completed in a day or two.
After arranging the recruitment of mercenaries, Gavin took Zalanda to carry out their original plan - to take her to visit the entire Three Rivers Land.
Extracting the memory projection from the red dragon corpse reminded Gavin that the easiest way to persuade others to immigrate to the Land of Three Rivers is to let them understand the place, see its development potential, and see their own strength.
.
Inviting representatives to visit in person is based on this consideration.
However, the representatives are only a small number of people after all, and it is more troublesome to operate. It is far simpler and more intuitive to make these into projection images and play them directly for the immigrants themselves to see.
This method cannot be used here only in Zalanda.
Regina can also use advertising to inform the entire valley and even Sambia to attract potential immigrants and let them come on their own.
The difficulty of making memory projection crystals can be said to be high or low.
Only two conditions are required.
First of all, there must be a suitable carrier. This carrier is not limited to crystal, some gems, and diamonds can be used. It is just a matter of accommodating the size of the memory.
Among the goods traded at the ghost wine auction, there was a large amount of suitable materials.
But Gavin has a better material in his hands, yes, it's the Spirit Crystal.
The spirit crystal itself is related to spiritual energy. As a professional counterpart to the carrier of memory images, the memory images contained in a thumb-sized spirit crystal can be compared to a crystal ball the size of a fist.
Spirit crystal also has an advantage that other gemstones do not have: it is easy to control.
Even ordinary people can use their own mental power to activate the prefabricated phantoms above. The only issue is the duration.
Secondly, there is a spellcaster who can cast phantom spells, and the corresponding phantom is prefabricated into the spiritual crystal.
There are far more types of phantom spells than Gavin imagined.
Silent phantom, this is just a one-level spell, there is no sound, smell, body temperature, etc., it is just an image.
Secondary phantom, a second-level spell, is the same as silent phantom, but has a certain sound and is relatively weak.
Advanced phantom, a three-ring spell, not only has sound, but also smell, body temperature, etc., which is a bit difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Preset phantoms, eternal phantoms, resident phantoms, etc., are sixth-level spells. Spells of this level are not as simple as simply copying images, but directly create characters and scripts. The naked eye cannot distinguish true from false.
.
For Gavin, High Phantom is enough.
It's a piece of cake for Daphne to use it.
Under Gavin's personal guidance, a five-minute advertisement for immigration recruitment about the Land of Three Rivers was soon released.
Although the time is not long, it is enough to introduce the land of Three Rivers from all aspects including its own financial resources, preferential immigration policies and natural geographical environment.
After seeing the final effect, Gavin felt that his collaboration with Regina had added a new dimension.
That is to jointly develop the projection industry in Faerun - the entertainment level of the public in Faerun will rise to several levels.
Throughout late July, Gavin lived a life of jumping back and forth between the two places.
Today I am in the Land of Three Rivers, tomorrow I am in Tessel, and the day after tomorrow I am back to the Land of Three Rivers.
During this time, Gavin personally experienced Zalanda's influence in Darauma. What she wanted to do could be answered by a cloud of people with just one sentence.
For example, she needs a senior carpenter to make the Nicole spinning machine driven by a waterwheel.
A recruitment notice was posted in the morning, and two teams of senior carpenters could come over at noon. Many of them had temporarily closed their own shops.
For example, she needs to dig ditches to guide the water of the River Is to drive Nicole's spinning machine.
When the citizens knew the news, there was no need to call for help. Many responded spontaneously and came to their homes with rations and tools, working for free.
Zalanda cannot make them work voluntarily, and will pay them no less than the market price.
Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for her to achieve anything.
Although here in Zalanda, there is no fantasy scene of multi-racial cooperation in the Land of Three Rivers.
However, there is a magical scene of the power of collective cooperation, and with multiple fronts moving forward, the outline of a large-scale water conservancy spinning mill can be seen in just half a month.
Not to mention the land of good weather, on the day of returning to Tethyr, we had already found a suitable land and completed the synchronization.
This time, citizens were not recruited, but the army was directly brought over. With thousands of people working at the same time, the plowing of the land was completed that month.
In full accordance with Gavin's suggestion, the potatoes grown here only take two months to mature. Two waves of potatoes can be planted before winter, which will effectively alleviate the food crisis in Darauma.
Shipwreck salvage and restoration work.
Mill Forest intelligence gathering efforts.
Propaganda work to encourage the Great Migration to Battle Valley.
also unfolded at the same time.
As long as he has time, Gavin will follow Zalanda in Darauma and show his face frequently.
There is no need for deliberate publicity, the whole of Darauma knows his name.
That's him!
A series of recent changes in Darauma are all related to him.
It was he who enlightened those enlightened trees who were salvaging sunken ships, allowing them to own a large number of transport ships and fishing boats in a short period of time, allowing them to harvest more fish from the Is River, and the food crisis was alleviated.
It was he who brought brand new spinning equipment, allowing many citizens to find new jobs.
He is the new lord of the Three Rivers in the Battle Valley. He is close to a river that is several times larger than the Is River. He has mountains of food in his hands, enough to feed tens of thousands of people for several years.
There are large tracts of fertile land there, but no one is cultivating it.
It is a peaceful place, with no warlords and lords, only endless peace.
The owner of this land promised that all the houses he built and the land he cultivated would be his personal property and would be tax-free for three years. After three years, the tithe tax would be implemented and would never be raised.
The only obstacle is not the 1,300 kilometers away, but the desire to go here.
As long as there is such a wish, the Lord of Zalanda will organize an army to escort them there collectively.
This matter has become the most hotly discussed matter in Darauma.
This is preheating the fermentation and giving these Dalauma people time to think and prepare.
And here in the Land of Three Rivers, it has once again fallen into a state of war.
It's just that this war is special. The enemy is not humans, or even humanoids, but birds and beasts.
