Chapter 99: The Fishman Shows Up

Lu Yao observed this forgotten city of the dead.

The urban structure of Sanilo has remained largely unchanged, except for the addition of a wide river ditch.

The ghost villain commanded the sandworms to dig man-made ditches 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 has not been easy for Sanillo either and is still ongoing.

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

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

Another part of the 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 ghost figures 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 shaman hunts the warehouse, and the second generation leader fishes away. Two experienced industrialists.

After measuring in the river, Hunter 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 Zhao expressed his opinion: "Once the fish people 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 Yao City in the north and Yan City in the west."

"There may be friction and conflicts with them in the early stage, and direct conflict may even break out."

"Don't worry."

Mayor Chapman said: "When fish people move to Sanilo, of course they must accept Sanilo's urban management and abide by city laws."

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

"However, this will not happen. Although the fish-men are numerous in number, they are no longer the undersea walkers of their ancestors. They are just an ordinary undersea intelligent race."

"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 gushed about Sanillo's progress over the years.

"Lord Isabel, Sanillo 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 is no natural disaster, every citizen will have a long life."

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

"We have no fertility, so population growth 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 also go to Yaocheng and Yancheng.

So Chapman targeted the non-normal.

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

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

Things get easier after that.

Dinar persuaded the fishmen 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 water city.

…

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

The appearance of the deep-sea murlocs is similar to that of the 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 dumb on the pixelated screen.

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

Lu Yao searched all over but couldn't 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 fish-men clan is more like individuals gathered together, and the community is very primitive.

Lu Yao clicked on a murloc panel.

…

[Deep Sea Murloc Level 1]

Health: 20/20

Mana: 5/5

Damage: 1

Defense: 1

Speed: 4

【Water element】

It can continuously recover health points in the water, and attacks will cause water element damage.

【Dive】

Diving underwater doubles your movement speed.

…

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 sea walkers, and when they encounter other ghosts, question marks will appear on their heads. The fishmen like livestock meat and fruits very much. What attracts them to Saniro is not only ancestor worship, but also food.

Just when Lu Yao was slightly disappointed, the sea walkers led by Dinar knelt on the ground one by one.

They faced the direction of Yaocheng and worshiped.

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

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

"The gods who awaken [Egil's Fire] and [Deep Sea Lord] are destined to be our masters and protectors."

"Praise our father and savior, God Yao!"

Slowly, the fishmen also learned from Dinar and worshiped awkwardly.

A lot of garbled characters appeared on the head of each deep-sea fishman.

The garbled characters gradually became clear.

"Praise... Father, God Yao!"

"Praise me... Heavenly Father, God Yao!"

"Praise our Heavenly Father and Savior, God Yao!"

This kind of collective kneeling seemed to make the fishmen particularly excited, and joyful smiles appeared on their heads.

A reminder appeared on the simulator.

[Ancestor worship inspired the deep-sea fishmen. ]

[The wonder inspired the deep-sea fishmen. ]

[The deep-sea fishmen rekindled the fire of faith. ]

Lu Yao saw it.

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

+25

+114

+126

...

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

Saniro actually introduced so many fishmen, which made Lu Yao completely unexpected.

After the deep-sea fishmen settled in the city's canal, the first action was to spontaneously build a temple.

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

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

So far, the three cities and three temples have completely connected them.

The only drawback is that although the fish people accept the faith quickly, the gap between writing and language still exists. It will take a lot of time for them to truly learn the local writing and language.

Dinar suddenly hurried to find Isabel.

"Master 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 god in the north of the eastern land. The evil god once killed many fish people, used the fish people's corpses to do some rituals, and fed a kind of green thing on the ground..."

"Maybe that is the evil god that Master Yao is hunting."

Lu Yao immediately became energetic.

What a coincidence, isn't it?

This is called "the righteous will have many supporters, and the unrighteous will have few supporters."

Cities, ghosts, and fish people are all my people, what can you use to fight me?

Thank you for your mutual support of 100 starting coins.
