A week has passed since the battle for the fate of the Baltic Sea, and the smell of blood near the city of Les has gradually dissipated with the flow of the sea, along with the uncertain future of the Baltic Sea.

The situation in the Baltic Sea has been completely reshuffled, the merfolk and the kraken accept their identity as losers, and their two queens have come to the city of Les under the sea with their precious treasures, and knelt down in front of Semiramis to show her their loyalty.

Maybe they did this because the gods didn't make a move, but more importantly, the strength in their hands now has no way to resist the attack of Semiramis, and the destruction of the fishmen also lost most of their strength, and the allies of other races were brought to the city of Les under the sea by Alice's tricks, and the last struggle was defeated by Alice's tricks.

If they don't want to leave this land that has lived for many years, don't want to end up like those fishmen who were exterminated by them, or like other races, completely lose their freedom and sovereignty, and become a part of Les City under the sea, bowing their heads and surrendering is the only choice they can make.

As for why the gods of Aesir did not make a move this time, they watched the mermaid and the kraken be defeated, and gave up the crown of the Baltic Sea to Semiramis, allowing a small fish god from the southern Mediterranean to occupy this sea area.

According to the news from the merfolk and the kraken, it was because the gods of Aesir were in a fight over the destruction of Jeat by Siegel and the unification of Scandinavia, and they did not have the energy to pay attention to other trivial matters.

Yes, that's right, in the eyes of those gods, this icy sea area, where only the sea tribe lives, is not important at all, and it is not a rich sea area such as the Mediterranean Sea and the Bay of Biscay, and there is nothing to be sorry for if you lose it.

Speaking of this, Semiramis knew what was going on, thanks to her mother, Semiramis more or less knew some secrets between the gods, and the news about the discord between the fire god Loki and the other gods did not actually reach the level of secrets among the gods, and could even be described by the word "always known".

In addition to the god king Odin and the thunder god Thor, the relationship between the other gods and him can even be described as almost becoming enemies, as for why it became like this, even Brunhilde refused to reveal too much to Alice.

"Ha, it's really cunning, I already knew about it, but I didn't plan to tell me, this is the so-called surprise. ”

"Really, Alice, after all this time, your surprises are still not such surprises at all. ”

Semiramis shook her head with a smile, and only then did she know what Alice meant by the phrase "Queen of the Baltics" before she left, and the future was almost doomed if the gods did not intervene.

Not to mention other things, after the baptism of war, the entire undersea Rice City is seizing every minute to rebuild, and the runes of the [Coral Growth Technique] that were closed have also been reactivated, and after a day's work, the coral bush outside the city has been rejuvenated, and there are some fish and shells that appear inside, living leisurely.

Of course, it is spawned by magic, and these corals have some defects on their bodies, such as not having a long lifespan, weakened reproductive ability, etc., but as long as there is no war, there will be time to fiddle with these things in the future.

The sea beasts that surrendered were arranged by Semiramis to do the heaviest work, and they had no other complaints, let alone resist, one was that after the war, their courage had been broken, and they did not dare to resist these strong men who defeated them, and the other was that even their masters, mermaids and krakens, had already expressed their submission to Semiramis, and it was meaningless for them to resist.

In this city that has experienced war and has only been established for a short time, those who have lost their loved ones, may never heal the wounds that will never disappear, and the grief in their hearts will not be erased because of the passage of time, but life still needs to go on, and all they can do is to press the unhappiness of the past in their hearts and strive to create a new and beautiful life, not only because of the nature of intelligent life, but also because it is a helpless choice that has no other choice.

Yes, they have no choice but to choose, because they are weak, they can only let themselves adapt to this cruel world, instead of using their absolute strength to control their own destiny like Alice and others.

The restoration of the city of Les under the sea continues, the aftermath of the war, the newly conquered Krakens and Fishmen, and the domination of the Baltic Sea, all of which have taken up more than ninety percent of Semiramis's daily life, and if she hadn't managed to advance to Legend, the piles of papers that filled the entire house would have been able to crush her.

The Baltic Sea has come to an end for the time being, but the story of the city of Rice on the sea has only just begun, and although the changes in the seabed have had a certain impact on it, these effects are good in every sense.

"Be careful, move these things over here and don't break them. ”

The vampire girl Bambi is the head of the city, or the lord of the city, the lord of a city that has nothing but its name and its inhabitants.

Bambi is now directing his rhinoceros men to unload the lightly treated timber from the ship, and because of the inhospitable and barren nature of the island, everything like stone and wood needs to be transported from Jutland, and in addition to the basic materials such as earth, wood, and stone, the ships are loaded with the necessities of human life, such as clothing and drinking water.

When the spoils of the Baltic War were transported to the island, the whole island fell into a carnival, the carnival banquet lasted for a long night, and even the faces of the children who did not have adults bloomed with a long-lost smile, those powerful sea beasts, as children's food, in addition to providing a lot of energy and nutrition, provided some special energy, can promote the growth of children's bodies, can improve children's physical fitness.

Although it may not be as good for the body as it is to make magic dishes or potions, it is also much less taxing on the body, so even younger children can eat it.

The feast was held so that everyone had their bellies open, and there was no restriction on eating, and everyone's bellies were bulging, but there was still a lot of food left over after filling the newly dug cellar.

So Bambi asked his men to use them to air dry and pickle, making air-dried meat that is easy to preserve and easy to carry is the best choice, and fortunately this island blows the northwest wind all year round, and now it is also a summer when the sun is shining, just need to simply marinate it with salt and put it in the sun, it doesn't take long for a good air-dried meat to be completed.

In order to make the meat dry before it rots, at the end of each day, the children are divided into groups, one group to divide the large pieces of meat into smaller pieces, one group to string the pieces together with hemp rope for easy drying and the remaining group to complete the final curing step, apply salt to the surface of the meat pieces, and then hang them on the eaves to be air-dried.

Perhaps for some pampered children, doing these dirty jobs will be very resistant and unacceptable, but for the children of the Yeats, handling prey is a skill that they must learn and master soon after birth, and it has nothing to do with the bloodline status, these skills related to hunting and fighting are all engraved in the bones of every Yaat, and if there is no way to master it, it is not worthy of calling itself a Jeat.

"Bambi-sama, where do you put these things?"

"Over there, these are going to be used to build temples, don't make mistake about it. ”

Bambi glanced at it, then pointed to the clearing not far away.

On the top of the clearing, there were already more than a dozen rhinoceros people working with tools, and the ground was filled with wood that required two people to hug, all of which were harder oak trees, which had a different meaning among the Aesirs and druids, and were usually made into staves and other things by the druids, or used to arrange magical rituals necessary to cast some magic.

These precious oaks were transported here to make the temple of Brünnhilde, a world where the status of the gods was more important than anything else, and they could starve and be enslaved.

But only in this day and age there is no such thing as freedom of speech, and if one speaks ill of other people's gods in public, or simply declares himself an atheist, then only a punishment awaits him, from which even the soul cannot be liberated, because the vast majority of gods are much more petty than they appear.

The construction plan of the Temple of Brünnhilde was agreed upon by Alice and Brünnhilde, and the whole temple would not use materials other than oak for either the main body or the statue.

Brunhilde's first temple on the main plane, with an area of about 600 square meters, was built in the center of the island and the city that would be built in the future.

The temple would be presided over by three priests, and only one deity, Brünnhilde, would be enshrined in Alice's vision, and the small island would replace Zealand and Fien in the Baltic Sea as the capital of the Baltic Empire to be established with Semiramis as its queen.

That's right, with such a key position as Rice Island, it is still impossible to undertake the heavy responsibility of the capital, because the scope of this so-called Baltic Empire is mainly below the sea surface, so the real capital must be in the sea, that is, the undersea city of Rice at the bottom of Rice Island.

In other words, the city of Rice established on the sea surface of the island is inhabited by the Jeats who believe in Brunhilde, while the city of Rice under the bottom of the island believes in Alice.

As for the mother of Semiramis, whether it was Semiramis or Alice, they refused to let her develop believers in this Baltic Sea, on the one hand, for the sake of Alice's plan to become a god, and on the other hand, they did not want the fish god to intervene in the affairs of the empire through the belief of anti-guest, and cross Semiramis to meddle in the affairs of the empire.

"The construction of the temple is ready to begin, what is the situation on your side? I don't want the temple to be built before the sacrifice has been trained, which is the worst blasphemy. ”

After taking a turn around the area where the oak timber was prevented, Bambi then found the old shaman, who had the highest status and prestige among the Yeats, and during this time of getting along, the old shaman became Bambi's deputy, helping her manage the Yeats on the island.

At this time, the old shaman was finishing the lesson for the children, and was sitting on the stone on the side, answering the questions that the children did not understand in the previous class, with a faint smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face looked much cuter.

Hearing Bambi's voice from afar, the children around them sensibly packed up their things and left the place, giving up space to the old shaman and Bambi, judging by their skillful movements and unsurprising expressions, this is not the first time such a thing has happened.

"Bambi-sama, don't worry. ”

The old shaman said in a calm and calm tone.

"The cultivation of the sacrifice is a long-term thing, and the three selected children are the most gifted geniuses of all the children, and you have to believe in our ability and the children's efforts. ”

"Uh-huh, I believe, I believe, I believe very much, so you tell me, when will those three little ones really complete the test and become sacrifices, right?"

"Lord Bambi, you who have been following Lord Alice for a long time should have heard the words [Raising the crops in the farmland to the detriment of your own interests], to become a qualified sacrifice, you need not only talent, but also those precious magic materials, if they don't have so much time to study, there is no way to really become a qualified sacrifice, that is the real blasphemy. ”

Obviously, he was very serious about refuting Bambi's words, but when he came out of the old shaman's mouth, it became extremely gentle, and no matter who heard such a voice, it was difficult to feel disgusted in the bottom of his heart.

"But on the side of Lord Semiramis, there is not much time given there, and our Rice City must be completed before this year. ”

"Yes, it must be completed this year, you don't have to worry too much about this, we Yeats are also very anxious, after all, it is a matter of His Highness Brunhilde. ”
