Don't look at Semiramis and Alice are very busy, the busiest is not actually the two of them, but Alice, who is located in a new city, and is used as a team alone, if it weren't for the strength of the soul that doesn't allow it, Alice even wants to split the soul again, creating an extra clone to help her deal with internal affairs.

The vampire maids were left in Jutland to help Skaha with her internal affairs, but there was no way to help her, and there was no way for the vampire maids who couldn't swim to get down here, or they would have drowned...... This is no joke, just as flames are afraid of water, and vampires are landlubbers who can't learn to swim, a curse that is inscribed in their bodies that cannot be changed, a curse that even the gods are said to be powerless.

Neither from the books in her mind nor from the mouths of those vampires, Alice did not find a single bit of information about this curse, which is undoubtedly a very valuable thing for Alice to study, and she believes that if she can analyze the body of this curse, it will greatly improve her own strength, especially on the aspect of curse magic.

It's a pity that Alice doesn't have time to study magic now, she spends twenty-four hours a day occupied by all kinds of tedious things, and even the time left to read books every day is taken up by nothing.

It is not a simple matter for those tribes who have joined the city, although they have signed a treaty with Alice and officially become a member of this new city, but it still requires Alice's efforts and long-term contact before they can become residents of this new city from the heart, and no longer continue to be limited to the situation of one tribe after another.

Alice's goal is to subtly eliminate their sense of belonging to the tribe, to liberate them from the tribe, to truly become a member of the city, and to truly identify with Alice's rule over them, rather than being loyal to the chiefs and shamans of the various tribes as before.

The battle with the fishmen gave Alice a great opportunity, and the death of a large number of nobles, spellcasters, and warriors made these tribes have a power vacuum, and convincing these tribes with survival and shelter, and using strength to coerce these tribes to join the new city, just let Alice and Semiramis fill the power vacuum.

Alice believes that when the cubs of the next generation grow up, when the old ones pass away one by one, and these tribes are truly integrated into the city, Alice has absolute confidence, believing in the methods of Semiramis, and also believing that these guys who have not even given birth to the rudiments of civilization will never escape.

This is the crushing of civilization against barbarism, from the imperceptible penetration and transformation of the upper civilization into the lower civilization, silently, changing a person's concepts and ideas, which is much more effective than the brainwashing of slaves and the roughness of magic, because at least there are no sequelae, and there is no need to worry about the resistance of slaves and the failure of magic.

Due to the lack of housing, Alice had to stop the sealmen from expanding their animal husbandry and plantation on the seabed, and let them return to the new city, building simple houses out of neat stone slabs that had been turned into mud and stone, and opening the temple to women and the elderly.

If you are on land, you don't need to be so elaborate, you only need a certain tent to solve these problems, and in the sea, due to the flow of water, a safe house can usually only be built in a cave or coral reef, otherwise you don't know when a predator such as a shark or a dragon will come and lead you to death in your sleep.

Yes, even if Alice is there, even if Alice has left her own breath around the city, there will always be some sea beasts who are so hungry that they lose their minds, unable to resist the temptation of food, and quietly enter the city when the Kraken goes out to eat, trying to fill their hungry bellies with those fat and oily sealers.

Thankfully, due to the Kraken's existence, there was a large amount of food stored in the city, which was enough to deal with the old and sick who had newly joined the city, but this was only a stopgap measure, and she still needed to prepare more food for the next winter, otherwise at that time, Alice would have to gather a batch of food from Jutland.

If the situation is serious, she may have to negotiate with those goblins again, and spend a lot of money in exchange for cheap food from their pockets, even if Alice can be called rich, it is difficult to squander it for a long time, not to mention that she spends a lot of money on other things, especially in the study of magic and ascension, the magic materials needed, each of which is very precious.

Joining the city are a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, expecting them to be able to create food to survive the winter safely, it is undoubtedly difficult for the strong, and even if they are allowed to leave the city by themselves and go hunting in the outer seas, they don't know how much loss will be made.

Not to mention whether such an act would violate the magic agreement signed by Alice with them, a single lord who cannot guarantee the survival of the city residents will be ruthlessly spurned by the residents under his command, not to mention that at this time, these guys have not really integrated into the new city and are used to Alice's leadership.

If Alice forcibly asks them to do such an act of sending them to death, then the panic and regret will definitely spread quickly among the tribes, although this is just the point, there should be no tribe leaving, but if it spreads outside, it will inevitably affect the thoughts of other tribes that have not joined Alice's city.

Here, Alice also had to sigh her good luck, Loki sent Kraken to herself, I don't know how much she helped, it can even be said that Kraken will become the most important cornerstone for Alice and Semiramis to conquer the entire Baltic Sea, and has helped Alice and Semiramis a lot before, and successfully killed the powerful sea monster in a one-on-one battle.

Otherwise, if Alice was allowed to fight the sea monster in the sea, in the face of the opponent's home advantage, maybe Alice would have a rare taste of defeat, and she still has not forgotten the time in the waters of Alexandria Harbor, due to carelessness and unfamiliarity with the sea environment, the boat capsized in the gutter.

Whether the Kraken is used as a force of deterrence, or as a helper to help build, it is undoubtedly very good, even so good that with the Kraken alone, Semiramis is confident that he can build a huge undersea kingdom covering the entire Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

What the sea monster can accomplish, Semiramis believes that the Kraken, which is stronger than the sea monster Kraken, can also do it, and even in the face of the fish-people like a tide, Semiramis is also confident that he can win and finally complete the unification of the Baltic Sea.

But now, in front of Alice, in addition to the problem of housing, there is also the problem of how to arrange the work of these races, because it is impossible for her to subdue these fellows, that is, to let them wander around the city every day, and it is impossible to let the seals keep working and provide them with food for free just because of the old and sick.

That would start a bad start, and it would make those races lose motivation and start to live on Alice, and if when they start to get used to this kind of life, and can't do without it, Alice is letting them go to self-reliance, and what they get will definitely not be gratitude, but resentment.

These whale people, lobster people, and even seal people are not Alice's servants and slaves, and the contract she signs with them is only a contract between the ruler and the ruled, not the relationship between the nanny and the sitting.

Therefore, they had to pay a certain amount of money for the food and shelter that Alice provided, such as labor as much as they could, or something else...... And this is also what makes Alice feel difficult, among the old, weak, sick and disabled, only those adult women can do some non-dangerous work a little, such as joining the ranks of food processing, and other high-load labor they are not capable of.

Alice's doppelganger, the Pale Book, who is now in this new city, has a very fulfilling daily life, and since she is only a spell book and is not dragged down by the human body of another doppelganger, she can carry out activities twenty-four hours a day without any rest, and does not need to waste time on such trivial tasks as eating and excreting.

Every night she would keep compressing the sand and gravel covering the seabed into hard and smooth stone slabs with magic, on the one hand, using these stone slabs as building materials, and on the other hand, she was also disposing of the sand and gravel that had accumulated on the seabed, those fine gravel, and piled a thick layer on the bottom of the sea, some of the thicker places were even more than ten meters thick, and there were countless small animals hidden inside.

After the sand and gravel on the seabed were cleared, what was revealed was the hard seabed that had been washed by the sea for an unknown number of years, and these dark and smooth stones were very hard, and with Alice's strength, if the magic she used did not reach the legendary level, there was no way to cause them a little damage.

However, even with such a hard seabed, Alice was not completely relieved, because the magic used by the fish-men and krakens at the expense of thousands of spellcasters was so amazing that they were able to crack these seabeds and let the lava below rush out.

Alice believes that those mermaids and krakens can definitely make a second time if they can do it the first time, not to mention the existence of gods, if a god who rules the earth is here, it must not be too complicated to use the power of the earth to open an opening under this new city with magma.

It was after seeing the damage caused by volcanoism in the sea that Alice decided to further strengthen the foundation of the city, layer upon layer of enchantment is absolutely essential, burning runes on the hard seabed is safe, if Alice even wants to drill a hole in the seabed of the area, let the icy sea water cool down the hot magma, artificially strengthen the thickness of the seabed.

But if such a project were to be completed, it would undoubtedly be a much larger project than the construction of an entire city, and because it was under the sea, the time and materials would be incalculable, at least not a few years to complete.

And it just so happens that Alice lacks time, whether it is to expand her sphere of influence, meddle in the Baltic Sea or some other things, her ultimate goal is to spread her reputation in a very short time, so that she can gain enough faith, and then use the power of faith to ignite the divine fire and become a real god.

The shadows of the gods were already hovering over the main plane, and the calm surface of the lake after the signing of the pact of the gods had once again stirred up waves, and if Alice could not become a god in time this time, she would be smashed to pieces by the raging waves in the following tide.

It's not that she doesn't believe in Skaha's words, but that the return of the gods is inevitable and inevitable, and Alice doesn't believe that the resistance of the main plane can cause much trouble to the gods, after all, the kingdom of God where those gods live, the World Tree, the Holy Mountain, the Nile, the Euphrates, the Tigris, and the Celtic Isles, aren't these the main planes?

"Your Highness, can we go?"

Alice's thoughts were interrupted by a voice from the front, and her pages shimmered with white light, which formed a series of words in the sea that could be understood.

"Go get today's food. ”

This is the leader of the latest seals to join the city, a tribe recruited by Semiramis, and judging by the injuries on their bodies, it is clear that they have accidentally angered Semiramis and received some minor punishment from Semiramis.

However, in order to calm the nervous seals, Alice used magic to heal their injuries and had a city sealman lead them to the shelter prepared for them to recuperate.

Of course, there was no need for such a luxury as a welcome banquet, and although the Baltic Sea, due to its proximity to Scandinavia, was more or less tainted with some Scandinavian traditions, the Kraken was the only one in the city who went out to hunt, and the food provided was just enough to eat.
