Chapter 99 The Fishman Appears

Lu Yao observes this forgotten city of the dead.

Saniro's urban structure has remained largely unchanged, except for the addition of a wide river ditch.

 The ghost villain commanded the sandworms to dig an artificial ditch on the ground. The river channel extends to the port due south, introducing seawater into the city, and the water returns to the sea from the east channel.

Rivers surround Sanillo, allowing the ghosts in the city to enter the sea through waterways.

The micro-canal project is not easy for Sanillo either and is still in progress.

 They used all the sandworms, ten in total, on the artificial river.

Some sandworms dig ditches in the soil, while others carry stones, spit out stones and sand from their mouths, and tamp the two sides to form simple river embankments.

 Other sandworms curled up to rest because they were too tired, and ZZZ appeared above their heads.

 The person who directed the entire canal project was Mayor Chapman. He led a few ghosts to constantly observe the river embankments and ditches and exchange opinions with each other.

 Lu Yao took a look. Good guy, both of Chapman's friends are acquaintances.

 The first generation of shamans hunts the barn, and the second generation of leaders fishes away. Two experienced industrialists.

After measuring in the river, Hunting Hall said: "This height and width should be enough. If the fish people come here, this water depth and the caves at the bottom of the river will be enough for them to live."

Yu Zou expressed his opinion: "Once the fishmen migrate to Sanilo, they will need a lot of meat as food. There are not so many fish near the shallow sea. They will definitely trade with Yaocheng in the north and Yancheng in the west."

“There may be frictions and conflicts with them in the early stage, and direct conflicts may even break out.”

"Don't worry."

Mayor Chapman said: “When fishmen move to Sanilo, they must of course accept Sanilo’s urban management and abide by city laws.”

“If they don’t behave themselves, Commander Alex will make them behave themselves.”

“However, this will not happen. Although there are a lot of fishmen, they are no longer the underwater walkers of their ancestors. They are just an ordinary intelligent race on the seabed.”

“Everything is to offer faith to the great God Yao!”

Lu Yao was a little confused, so he simply called Isabel and asked her to go to Sanillo to check the situation for him.

 Facing Apostle Isabel, Mayor Chapman immediately became respectful and flattering.

 He talked endlessly about Sanillo's progress over the years.

“Lord Isabel, Sanilo is different from ordinary cities. There are some special circumstances here.”

“Sanillo does not need food rationing. The citizens are the ghosts of the dead and do not need to eat or drink. If there are no natural disasters, every citizen will have a long life.”

“But on the other hand, ghosts are also inherently flawed.”

 “We have no fertility, and the increase in population can only rely on external introduction.”

“The other aspect is labor. It is much more difficult for ghosts to touch the stone, wood, copper and iron of these entities than ordinary people. It is very difficult to revive Sanilo entirely by ourselves.”

“So I held a meeting at the city hall and invited citizen representatives to discuss and decide the next development direction of Sanillo…”

The meeting first determined Saniro’s first major policy: to increase efforts to attract foreign residents to move in.

Normal people would not come to this city of the dead. If they wanted to go, they would go to Yaocheng and Yancheng.

 So Chapman targeted the abnormal group of people.

 After unremitting efforts and investigation, they finally found the target.

While searching for dead souls on the sea, Dinar discovered a special race: deep-sea murlocs.

 As soon as they saw the deep sea walkers, the fish people came over very excitedly and circled around them.

 There was actually no obstacle to communication between the two parties.

 Dinar soon understood why.

It turns out that the deep-sea murlocs are the descendants of a small group of surviving underwater walkers.

The fish people hide in the trenches under the deep sea. They waited until the gods changed and the outside world became calm again before they dared to come out again and show up on the sea.

 The rest will become easier.

 Dinar persuaded the fishmen clan to settle in Sanilo City and promised to build a suitable underwater living environment for them.

 This led to a series of small canal projects around the city.

Sanillo is also becoming a city on the water.

 …

Lu Yao turned his attention to the fish-men on the beach.

 The appearance of deep-sea murlocs is similar to that of underwater walkers, with webbed hands and feet, large dead fish eyes, pointed noses, and no hair.

They are only half the height of ordinary human ghosts, and they look a bit dull on the pixel screen.

 The level of fishmen is very low, most of them are LV1, not as good as the ghosts of Saniloli.

Lu Yao searched and searched, but could not find the leader of the fishmen.

 He asked Isabel to ask, and then he learned that there is no concept of leader in the fish-men group.

 The fishmen are more like individuals gathered together, and the community is very primitive.

 Lu Yao clicked on a murloc panel.

 …

 【Deep Sea Murloc Lv1】

 Health: 20/20

 Mana: 5/5

  Damage: 1

 Defense: 1

 Speed: 4

  【Water element】

 Can continuously recover health points in water, and attacks will cause water element damage.

  【Dive】

 Dive into the water and move twice as fast.

 …

  Classic fish template data.

 Compared to the Undersea Walker, it can be said to be a serious degradation.

Lu Yao continued to inquire and observe, and found that the deep-sea murlocs could neither read nor have much wisdom.

They can only communicate with underwater walkers. When they encounter other ghosts, question marks will appear on their heads. Murlocs like the meat and fruits of livestock very much. What attracts them to Sanilo is not only ancestor worship, but also food.

Just when Lu Yao felt a little disappointed, the underwater walkers led by Dinar knelt on the ground one by one.

 They worshiped facing the direction of Yao City.

Dinar shouted: "The old darkness has dispersed, and the new dawn has arrived."

 “The gods protect us and give us abundance and security, hope and strength!”

“The gods who awaken the [Fire of Aegir] and the [Lords of the Deep] are destined to be our masters and protectors.”

 “Praise be to our heavenly Father and Savior, Yao!”

 Slowly, the murlocs also imitated Dinar’s example and worshiped clumsily.

A lot of garbled words appeared above the heads of every deep-sea murloc.

 The garbled characters gradually became clearer.

 “Praise…Father, God Yao!”

 “Praise me...Father, God Yao!”

 “Praise be to our heavenly Father and Savior, Yao!”

This kind of group kneeling seemed to make the murlocs particularly excited, with joyful smiles on their heads.

 An alert appears on the simulator.

　　【Ancestor worship inspired the deep-sea murlocs. 】

　　【The spectacle inspired the deep-sea murlocs. 】

　　【The deep-sea murloc clan has rekindled the fire of faith. 】

 Lu Yao saw it.

 In the upper right corner of the interface, the numbers in the population column and belief column begin to grow simultaneously.

  +25

  +114

  +126

 …

 Back and forth, the two items rose by 2,900 points before completely stabilizing.

Saniro actually introduced so many murlocs, which even Lu Yao didn't expect at all.

 After the deep-sea murlocs settled in the city's canals, their first move was to spontaneously build a temple.

 Groups of fishmen carried stones and dug underwater mud everywhere, working hard day and night. Under the guidance of the ghosts, they built the Yao Temple belonging to Sanilo City.

Although the new temple is not very beautiful, Lu Yao can use it.

 At this point, three cities and three temples have completely connected them.

The only drawback is that although the fish people quickly accepted their faith, the gap between words and language still existed. It will take a lot of time for them to truly learn the local script and language.

 Dinar suddenly found Isabel in a hurry.

“My Lord Apostle, there is an important piece of information that I need to report to you immediately.”

“The fish people said that there is an evil **** to the north of the eastern land. The evil **** once killed many fish people, used the corpses of the fish people to perform rituals, and fed a green thing on the ground..."

“Maybe that’s the evil **** Yao Shen is hunting for.”

Lu Yao immediately became energetic.

 What a coincidence, isn't it?

 This is called the right way to get many help but the wrong way to get little help.

 The city, the ghosts, and the murlocs are all my people, what are you going to fight with me for?

  　Thank you for your mutual support of 100 starting coins.
